Re: [iwlwifi] status for stable/13

Bjoern,

Thank you a lot for your quick response.
I'll gladly wait until we can enjoy the latest iwlwifi efforts on stable/13 (either via the upcoming script you mentioned to cherry-pick from HEAD or via the later MFCs).

Thank you a lot for your efforts on this front. It's really appreciated.
WiFi is definitely the main reason keeping me from using FreeBSD as a daily driver on my laptop(s).

Keep up the good work! :)


Best regards,
~ Joel
