Hello, we have several APUs equipted with a 802.11ac WiFi chip as recognized by FreeBSD 13-STABLE (FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE #41 n249369-780049741e8: Wed Feb 9 09:31:32 CET 2022 amd64): [...] none2@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x028000 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x168c device=0x003c subvendor=0x0000 subdevice=0x0000 vendor = 'Qualcomm Atheros' device = 'QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter' class = network bar [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xd0000000, size 2097152, enabled [...] This APU's WiFi chipset is supposed to act as a AP and this specific chipset is sold as a capable one acting as a reliable chipset and as far as I know, this chipset is well supported with Linux/OpenWRT (ath10k driver I guess, I'm not sure). Can someone comment on the support for the QCA986x/988x 802.11ac chipset? Is there any chance to have support for this WiFi chipset? Thanks in adance, oh -- O. Hartmann
