  Hi ,  No   its  missing  from  repository

Installed  15-Beta1    on  this  machine  this  morning.  Using wired 
networking,  Motherboard  also  has  this  Wifi circutry.

I also downloaded fresh  ports  from  GITHUB   this  morning.

Ports  have    "wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod "  " wifi-firmware-mt7601u-kmod"

I built  and installed    wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod and   mt7925/*  is 
now  in  /boot/firmware/mediatek/mt7925


  # fwget -v
Trying to match device 0x15ff in class network and vendor intel with 
pci_network_intel
Trying to match device 0x15ff in class network and vendor intel with 
pci_network_intel
Trying to match device 0x0717 in class network and vendor mediatek with 
pci_network_mediatek
Trying to match device 0x8125 in class network and vendor realtek with 
pci_network_realtek
Needed firmware packages: 'wifi-firmware-mediatek-kmod-mt792x'
pkg: No packages available to install matching 
'wifi-firmware-mediatek-kmod-mt792x' have been found in the repositories

  Regards
