While doing a fresh install, I noticed rtw88 associated on my system.  
Here is the ifconfiig wlan0:

ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=0
        ether 5c:fb:3a:69:48:65
        inet 192.168.1.66 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
        groups: wlan
        ssid Verizon_C4J9FL channel 11 (2462 MHz 11g) bssid 
4c:22:f3:39:25:7b
        regdomain FCC country US authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy ON
        deftxkey UNDEF AES-CCM 2:128-bit txpower 30 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60
        protmode CTS wme roaming MANUAL
        parent interface: rtw880
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g
        status: associated
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

Can we specify mode 11g in some config file?  I think my issue arises 
after a buildworld/kernel, installworld.  Is 11g compatibility getting 
configured out?
