Predominantly in main and when confirmed to improve stable/14 and then the releng branch. #2 for that I'll disconnect rtw88 as well from the build in "main" (not in 14 yet). I'll also remove the rtw8? firmware from main which is avail from ports using fwget (as is used for drm-kmod graphics drivers). I do not know yet what will happen in 14.0 with rtw88. We'll see. The main reason behind it is that LinuxKPI based driver updates will need updates to all and testing and rtw88 has it's own issues (as reported by some of you) and I don't have the capacity to do both currently. I'll try my best to keep all of the other drivers "kind-of there" compiling the best possible but we'll work on them once iwlwifi is done. If you want to work on them in the mean time it'll be a single line change in sys/modules/Makefile to re-enable them. I'll send a separate email about them and their state as I am aware the next days. More as things progrss. Bjoern -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7
