Hello!
First of all: No, it's not me. I learned my lessons on BSD and wifi ;-). So, I'm asking for a ...friend (kind of). Really! :-D
He wants to run an Intel AX210 on his protectli with 26.1.latest. I warned, anyways...
I found this here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1jwbms6/intel_wifi_driver_iwx4_now_in_current/?solution=981b64c5cce237f9981b64c5cce237f9&js_challenge=1&token=bbbe4bf1c9a2b5160829c4be34da5861cc4aafcbe4ac2126a9ecee431d7f929f&jsc_orig_r=
Although 1 year old, he get's something along the line of
iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-77.ucode: could not load binary firmware /boot/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-77.ucode either
iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-77.ucode: could not load binary firmware /boot/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-77.ucode either

iwlwifi0: could not load firmware image 'iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-77.ucode'
iwlwifi0: File size way too small!
iwlwifi0: no suitable firmware found!
iwlwifi0: minimum version required: iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-77
iwlwifi0: maximum version supported: iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-89
iwlwifi0: check git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
iwlwifi0: On FreeBSD the firmware package can be installed running fwget(8).
Is there any hope anytime soon (26.6 maybe?) this will work in AP mode on his OPNsense?
Well this should work?
As per the support matrix is listed

QuoteQ: Does this driver support the AX210 from the Framework Laptop?
A: Yes it does.

Question is since what FBSD release is the driver compiled.

The reddit above is more than 1 year old, I saw this here

The

sounds mega fishy.
AX210 should work in 14.3
