Hello,
we have several APUs equipted with a 802.11ac WiFi chip as recognized by FreeBSD 13-STABLE
(FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #41 n249369-780049741e8: Wed Feb 9 09:31:32 CET 2022 amd64):

This APU's WiFi chipset is supposed to act as a AP and this specific chipset is sold as a
capable one acting as a reliable chipset and as far as I know, this chipset is well supported
with Linux/OpenWRT (ath10k driver I guess, I'm not sure).
Can someone comment on the support for the QCA986x/988x 802.11ac chipset? Is there any chance
to have support for this WiFi chipset?
Thanks in adance,
oh
