Hi,

I had a bit of a summer break in June and should have started early
July to work again which was delayed to real life interfering.
I have a slight debugging and email backlog from that still and some
of you are sitting in my Inbox still waiting for a reply.

If you hadn't seen older (pre-AX200) chipsets were fixed at some point
in June (I think it was), which was one of the bigger headaches.

I think the best summary is what Ed said here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_o8Ssp78bs&t=2190s

The _plan_ for the 2nd half of this year is to continue getting 11n and 11ac
going with iwlwifi.   Initially the updates will be irregulary as the first
part of the next bit of lifiting things will take a while.  Once bits
move there'll be testing-forard-cycles in main again followed by
merges to stable/13 and I'll try to keep you more updated then.

The iwlwifi driver itself seems to be mostly up-to-date I believe (I'll
re-check once the next kernel is out end of the month again).
Most of the work ongoing there seems to be smaller changes for 11be
covering most drivers and as the number of drivers increases we'll
have to keep moving them forward together.


On other notes I had used my "leisure time" a bit to work on other
wifi bits and I hope to clear that work up the next weeks as well on
the side and push out (into the tree and/or elsewhere).

More in a week or two hopefully.

Lots of health,
Bjoern
