https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D270742 Bug ID: 270742 Summary: net/wifi-firmware-*: add framework and firmware for various WiFi chipsets Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bz@FreeBSD.org CC: mat@FreeBSD.org I am not a ports committer so need help to get this in. Add a "base port framework" to fetch WiFi firmware and license files from the linux-firmware.git repository and an accompanying FreeBSD build kmod framework tarball (for now; we might do without that in the future). Add child ports for Realtek rtw88 and rtw89, Mediatek mt76, and Atheros ath10k and ath11k firmware as a start. This is a beginning in order to stop bloating src.git and the installed kernels with lots of MB of firmware files whereas usually only one vebdor/chipset/flavor is needed. Before fully switching more infrastructure needs to be in place but this is the first and most important step. I've opened a review for this in order to sort out any things which might n= eed changing and to make it easier to pull the changes into any local trees. https://reviews.freebsd.org/D39487 --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
