Hola! As reported in a different thread, the HT/VHT support is pretty much useless on my Framework 13: iwlwifi0@pci0:170:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x1a hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x2725 subvendor=0x8086 subdevice=0x0020 Running: FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT #13 main-91d8ee3579ef: Wed Mar 19 22:09:48 CET 2025 It will connect and work (fast) for a while (few hours, tops), then stop working (see dmesg of when this happened). Laptop was idle at the time. I'm now back on 11g/11a, and even here I'm limited to 1Mbps(!) according to the ifconfig output. And this isn't a lie either; it is absolutely horrendeously slow. Not 1mbit, but effectively maybe 7-8? Has this changed with recent commits? At this point - having seen the Grand Prize but unable to attain it, I'm more motivated than ever to do whichever testing necessary to get over this last(?) hurdle :) /Eirikhelp
