The LinuxKPI, particularly for 802.11, has been enhanced to support crypto offload and 802.11n and 802.11ac standards.
The man:iwlwifi[4] wireless driver is the first to make use of these new features supporting 802.11ac for some Intel Wi-Fi 5, and all of Intel Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 hardware. (Sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation)
+The man:rtw88[4] driver was made to work (associate) again and a memory leak got resolved. (Sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation)

+Following other drivers man:iwlwififw[4] firmware was removed from the base system in favor of the ports based solution and man:fwget[8] support. (Sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation)
