Hello,

I have an RTL8812au card on FreeBSD 14.0-STABLE and the connection is 
very unstable.
For example, when downloading packages with pkg, the download rate goes 
down to 0
for a few seconds, then goes up not above 2MB/s for a few seconds, it's 
often under 500KB/s
and often does not last longer than a second or so, then goes back to 0 
for a few seconds.

I haven't felt this instability when browsing the web or pinging, it 
seems to happen during longer connections.

Here are some system information. I've tried changing a few tunables but 
nothing changed.

root@JOY# sysctl -a | grep rtwn
