I had a talk with Hans in Vienna in 2022 about it about how to proceed. I ripped things apart and made it compile, but that disconnected the LinuxKPI from the actual USB stack and so far no one has done the works to finish this. I do have multiple USB rtw88 (and rtw89) sticks as well to test and keep importing the USB bits into FreeBSD, as I assumed they'll be the new "urun"/"urtwn" at some point. Let me know if you want to hack a bit on this and I'll go and find the old prototype. /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
