--- Comment #1 from Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> ---
There's actually two issues here:

(a) the net80211 ieee80211_ifdetach() has a problem by itself previously
observed over the last years by many.  That's a net80211 tech debt part and
will likely be addressed at some time.

(b) for the LinuxKPI TX callback I had previous private reports; I do have a
local patch which will fix that problem;  the patch also changes data
structures and locks in order to be able to get closer Linux expectations of
drivers (rtw89 has assertions triggered without it).  I am done through 2 of
three of the list and lock changes and it'll likely be out in a week or so
(depending on how much time I have for that part).
