Zeeb <bz@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-07-29 00:36:25 +0000 mt76: mt7921: update man page Adjust the man page to what other LinuxKPI wlan man pages say and look like as it has been a while since I wrote it. The man page is not yet hooked up to the build on purpose as the driver is not yet enabled in the tree.
