            Bug ID: 237711
           Summary: iwm: No 802.11n or 802.11ac support
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: neel@neelc.org

I'm sure that it's well known that FreeBSD iwm lacks 802.11n and 802.11ac
support.

I believe OpenBSD supports 802.11n on iwm (I couldn't try OpenBSD as it doe=
sn't
boot on my laptop). A commit is here:
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/d1ea7b2160ed2eb0df49e1e2db31cabcceb66=
6cb

There is an abandoned GSoC project for FBSD 802.11n/ac:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/SummerOfCode2017/Porting80211nAnd80211acToFreeBSDi=
wm

Would someone be willing to write a FreeBSD patch for at least 802.11n on i=
wm
(if not ac)?
