The branch main has been updated by bz: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=eb8a794662d2e694a99f927d7161b6efffdd295d commit eb8a794662d2e694a99f927d7161b6efffdd295d Author: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-06-12 15:01:09 +0000 Commit: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-06-13 14:57:22 +0000 iwlwifi.4/rtw88.4/rtw89.4: adjust note about loading from loader Despite being discouraged in the man page already, people are trying to load the driver(s) from loader. Now that the drivers are on module_blacklist="" simply state that it is not possible. If someone wants anyway they can figure out how to remove it from there, load the driver, and loader the firmware file(s) upfront.
