About 1.5 years ago I wrote[1] to tech@ an email about WIP for rtw88
port effort (TP-Link T3U nano 802.11ac chip), back then the driver
wasn't functioning, it was able to send probes, but there was a bug in
the RX path.  Motivation for the driver is described in the previous
email (comfortable sysupgrades for machines that can't run iwx, for
example, because of BIOS blacklisting).

I decided to come back to this, and the current version can ping
google.com over WPA2 at 1 Mbit/s, if you hold it at the right angle to
the sun and get really close to the AP.

With such a pace, we can get somewhere in 3-4 years.

Current version: https://people.freebsd.org/~misha/urtwm_20260906.patch

No testing requests for now, just an update - but any comments are
welcome, for example on how to handle FreeBSD's Linux glue layer
(currently it's right in the driver file).
