32 .Nd MediaTek IEEE 802.11ax wireless network driver
34 The driver will auto-load without any user interaction using
39 Only if auto-loading is explicitly disabled, place the following
42 to manually load the driver as a module at boot time:
43 .Bd -literal -offset indent
44 kld_list="${kld_list} if_mt7921"
47 The driver should automatically load any
48 firmware needed for the particular chipset.
50 It is discouraged to load the driver from
55 driver is derived from MediaTek's Linux mt76 driver and provides support for
56 the following chipsets:
58 .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact
59 .It MediaTek MT7921E (PCIe)
62 This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.
64 .Pa wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod
66 .Pa ports/net/wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod
67 port needs to be installed before the driver is loaded.
70 interface can be created using
74 .\" No LinuxKPI man pages so no .Xr here.
78 compat framework to bridge between the Linux and
81 driver code as well as to the native
87 supports all 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and ax
88 the compatibility code currently only supports 802.11 a/b/g modes.
89 Support for 802.11 n/ac is to come.
