In my humble defense, from our last conversation:

;)

To be clear. I deleted the previous kernel drivers supplied by my last
kernel build. Then proceeded to /usr/ports/net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod
and did a make install clean. Stupidly forgetting about using a flavor. :/

Yep. I forgot to choose a flavor. :(

Yes.

% fwget -n -v
Trying to match device 0x46b3 in class video and vendor intel with 
pci_video_intel
Trying to match device 0x51f0 in class network and vendor intel with 
pci_network_intel
Needed firmware packages: 'gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-alderlake 
gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-tigerlake'

this is fwget(8) from my old kernel. Would a
make -C /usr/src/usr.sbin/fwget install clean
be enough? Or is a new kernel/world mandatory?

Right. I installed the firmware from a git up of ports done yesterday.
I got "compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ac=0" from a recent message
on the list. "compat.linuxkpi.iwlwifi_disable_11ax=0" was a hopeful shot in
the dark. Now removed.

I made no changes to iwlwifi_11n_disable. I guess nothing was done.

Understood. I'll stop doing that.

Right. Both return nothing. So a new kernel/world appears required.

Headed to /usr/src/ after this reply. :)

Immensely! Sorry for all the bother.
