You need to upgrade to -current to get AX210 support, or wait for 7.2. fw_update will not pull in support for newer devices. The purpose of fw_update is to install a set of firmware files which is compatible with the installed version of OpenBSD. So fw_update will fetch newer firmware only if the OpenBSD system as a whole has been upgraded.
