If you have't already tried yourself, the updated port will also turn on
HT and VHT by default for iwlwifi chipsets 22000, ax210, and bz (that's
AX200 and newer) on both main and stable/14.
Reports so far have been encouraging enough from some people who've been
testing during the last weeks (the rough edges being sorted step but
step now). For more information about how to test, about older chipsets,
or other drivers see the wireless mailing list archive[2] of this year
and the FreeBSD Foundation Laptop Project on github [3] for links to the
postings.
Hola!
As reported in a different thread, the HT/VHT support is pretty much
useless on my Framework 13:
iwlwifi0@pci0:170:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x1a hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086
device=0x2725 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0020
Running:
FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #13 main-91d8ee3579ef: Wed Mar 19 22:09:48 CET 2025
It will connect and work (fast) for a while (few hours, tops), then stop
working (see dmesg of when this happened). Laptop was idle at the time.
I'm now back on 11g/11a, and even here I'm limited to 1Mbps(!) according
to the ifconfig output. And this isn't a lie either; it is absolutely
horrendeously slow. Not 1mbit, but effectively maybe 7-8? Has this
changed with recent commits?
At this point - having seen the Grand Prize but unable to attain it, I'm
more motivated than ever to do whichever testing necessary to get over
this last(?) hurdle :)
