The branch main has been updated by bz: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=a993d281111bef7c760340321e372a7cb6a759a0 commit a993d281111bef7c760340321e372a7cb6a759a0 Author: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2026-04-26 20:04:46 +0000 Commit: Bjoern A. Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-06-05 12:09:22 +0000 LinuxKPI: 802.11: add note about rate control support under boot -v We currently do not support rate control in LinuxKPI. As more drivers and chipsets gain suppport for higher throughput add a note under bootverbose if we hit one of these cases (currently only older iwlwifi chipsets).
