Hi,
Have also been doing some speed tests on the updated wifi drivers. While
they are faster than before (around 12Mbps downloads) they are still far
short of what my Macbooks are getting on the same network. I'm wondering
if that's a misconfiguration on my part? Or is the speed still a work in
progress? I noticed it's not connecting at 11ac.
FreeBSD version: 1500037
Laptop: Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen3
Internet speed: 1G down / 50M up
On my Macbook Pro as you can see below gets pretty high downloads.
Usually around the 350-450M down. In comparison my Thinkpad is getting
40-70M down.

Have also installed the firmware update wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod-22000
Do I need to do anything other than install the package or do I need the
build the world and kernel?

Do you need any tests from me?

You were able to switch from TKIP to CCMP so you are not running into
the edge cases and problems anymore. I just need to get TKIP fully
working and then I hope more people will be happy.
If you are running main feel free to update at any time and test the
latest commit.
Lots of health,
Bjoern
