I can now enjoy in 200 Mbps speeds (out of 300 MBps internet connection) on= my laptop.
All that without much fuss (wifibox Linux VM forwarding).

It works with my AX200 card, but it doesn't work with AX210 card - it c= ouldn't find the firmware (even if it is installed in /boot/firmware/).= Another person reported the same problem here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D285905

As far I understand iwx driver was import from OpenBSD (where it is limited= to non-ac/ax speeds)?

I thought 11ac w= as working fine on OpenBSD.

What's the difference between iwx and iwlwifi? Who will "win"= in the end?

There's no "winne= r", only "options" and "enable development of both nati= ve and linuxkpi drivers". That's our goals right now.

On my desktop, I am using OpenBSD VM as a router (with PCI passthru) and Al= pine Linux as WLAN AP (also with PCI passthru, but with patched atk driver = to work as 5 GHz AP).
Is it possible to replace that Linux AP with native iwx/iwlwifi/ath FreeBSD= 5GHz AP?


You can already do an ath(4) 11n AP ju= st fine on freebsd. I really need to finish my initial ath10k port (it work= s though!) and get it into the tree so I can shuffle it forward along the h= ardware support line.
=C2=A0
Also, from my iwx laptop, now I can't connect to that Alpine AP. Other = devices (Android phones) work, other 5GHz WLANs from iwx laptop also work. = Any hints?

What channel/mode is the alpine = AP running on?

Does iwx see it using "ifconfi= g wlan0 list scan" ?
