+
+The ongoing wireless efforts are trying to bring more support for recent chipsets as well as newer standards.
+
+With man:iwlwifi[4] and man:rtw88[4] being supported we received patches and initial reports for rtw89 and ath10k working for some poeple.
+Additionally ath11k, ath12k and various chipsets supported by mt76 are waiting for someone to find the time to finish compat code, test and debug.
+
+Work is ongoing to update drivers to Linux v6.11 using the now bootstrapped vendor branches, which should help maintainance a lot in the future.
+One particular focus for this update is also to find ways to minimize incompatibilities between wireless compat code versions in order to support multiple Linux versions as needed.
+
+After the native kern_malloc changes got committed, LinuxKPI is seeing ongoing work for memory allocation to play better by the rules set out in Linux which should help with DMA problems seen.
+There is further work pending to add missing bus_dmamap_sync() calls.
+
+There is work to support man:rtw88[4] SDIO devices (being tested on an r2s-plus) and ongoing work to stabilize updated USB support which should start landing once the driver updates have finished.
+Lastly there are more updates in the queue to finish 11n support for LinuxKPI 802.11 compat code as well as improving native net80211 code.
+
+If you have questions or feedback please use the link:https://lists.freebsd.org/subscription/freebsd-wireless[freebsd-wireless mailing list].
+That way everyone will see, be able to join in, and the answers will be publicly archived.
