+
+At the end of 2024 Future Crew LLC provided the source for their iwx port from OpenBSD.
+I opted to merge the two drivers together using the Future Crew driver as a base and importing my modifications.
+
+I worked on this driver, tidying up and removing a lot of development code and expanding support for more devices.
+iwx in FreeBSD should now attach to any device supported by OpenBSD.
+Firmware is available thanks to mailto:[email protected][bz@] in the package:net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod[] package.
+
+iwx landed in FreeBSD on the final day of the quarter.
+iwx probes with a lower priority than iwlwifi to avoid breaking deployed configurations.
+
+iwx supports legacy, HT and VHT rates and some users have reported significant througputs in test.
+There remain many issues around rate selection and development is continuing.
