Actually, fwget in the installer should do this over the network; so the
firmware should be available as package in the repo.

net/wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod@mt792x does exist in the ports tree.
There's always chances, that a package wasn't built.

If you manually run fwget, does it install the firmware now on the running system?
