Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>When I recently installed <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> 14.2 on the "new" <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thinkpad</span></a> T15 Gen1 for my mother, I was first excited to see the installer load <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/iwlwifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iwlwifi</span></a>. And later disappointed it's *still* restricted to 802.11g.</p><p>But configuring <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/lagg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lagg</span></a> in <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/failover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>failover</span></a> mode over lan and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/wifi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wifi</span></a> is an awesome feature, and as this machine will be operated almost 100% of time in a docking station connected via 1000-BaseT, its fine for now. Still hoping to see newer wifi standards supported ... I see there's work going on from bugzilla and other sources.</p>
