Hi,
first of all thank you for testing and reporting back!
Today 14:th of April at 18:00 UTC. I installed new iwlwifi
firmware from ports and refreshed /usr/src tree from Git, and
rebuildt the kernel
Which branch? main or stable/14?
I also reconfigured my old 4G/Wifi Modem-gateway to B/G/N 2.4
Gbit band, 40 Mhz
looks like Im now running 11ng 300 Mbits to the 4G/WIFI modem.
4G speed is ofcourse lower
Where do you get the 300Mbit/s from? Just the theoretical value?
Wlan0 now says :
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

Blessed are you. Your radio environment must be very quiet that you
manage to get on a 40Mhz channel on 11g (or the AP is set to force now?)!

You are using TKIP which is not yet supported for crypto offload so either you
do not have hw_crypto enabled (which the newer firmware would) as well or you
are not getting reasonable throughtput as ampdurx would be automatically
disabled by LinuxKPI and it looks like from the next line of the
ifconfig output that it got (both RX and TX as it syas -ampdu; TX is disabled
on purpose in the current version).
Do you have any chance to enable/switch to CCMP on the AP?
What does:
sysctl compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_11n_disable
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ac
show for all three?
And once you are associated and have some traffic, what does
sysctl compat.linuxkpi.80211.wlan0
say?
protmode CTS -ampdu ampdulimit 8k ampdudensity 8 -amsdutx amsdurx

and /var/run/dmesg.boot says this with verbose boot and
compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_11n_disable=0
in /boot/loader.conf
What is this iwl-debug-yoyo.bin ? where is it to be found ? do i
need it ?
Nowhere. It can be ignored.
