missing firmware for rtw89 in 25.1 (rtw8852b)

[bickns]

Greetings

The changelog for 25.1 says src: rtw89: update Realtek rtw88/rtw89 driver et al - which I'm assuming is support for rtw89 (rtw8852b).  Problem is that I can't get the the rtw drivers to load correctly

This is from dmesg.

I tried "pkg install wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod-rtw8852b" - and wifi-firmware-rtw89-kmod but this firmware is not in the repository anywhere.  I also tried downloading the missing fw.bin files directly from FreeBSD but this gave an error regarding firmware header

"rtw890: Unknown firmware header version 10"

I'm still a bit new to how FreeBSD is configured compared to linux - so was wondering if I'm missing something obvious like I need to manually build the firmware from the src files - but then I can't really work out where to load the src files from.  I've done a search of this forum for rtw89 but doesn't come up with much so was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction to get this working.

Any ideas/help appreciated

Cheers

The firmware seems to be in constant flux on stable/14 on the FreeBSD end. Please try again in 25.1.8 as there have been even more updates.
