Actually, fwget in the installer should do this over the network; so the firmware should be available as package in the repo. net/wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod@mt792x does exist in the ports tree. There's always chances, that a package wasn't built. If you manually run fwget, does it install the firmware now on the running system? /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7 --0-2000272540-1760347789=:11296--
