The branch main has been updated by bz: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=507599591a96d3bc95c8d6ccd6b7861f20313fe4 commit 507599591a96d3bc95c8d6ccd6b7861f20313fe4 Author: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2026-05-26 12:29:22 +0000 Commit: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-05-31 16:17:11 +0000 15.1/relnotes: LinuxKPI based wirleess drivers Adjust the carefully prepared list of changes for the 15.1 release: - reduce the list of driver updates to the ones we actually ship. Mediatek was in a different category anyway. - adjust some descriptions and add notes to Realtek drivers that there are known issues.
