MediaTek MT7921 Wireless LAN driver
I have the MT7922 (also an ASUS laptop, I wish they would just drop this brand) and about your only option is to run wifibox with a Linux kernel that supports this chip; if you want it to run natively. I gave up on that headache and instead run Fedora with QEMU/KVM and FreeBSD, which isn't an option for everyone.

DragonFly BSD 6.4
You can use WifiBox[1], being a user of FreeBSD myself (Laptop, Workstation and many servers) it would be nice to have "native" ac/ax.

Migrate from Linux to FreeBSD
I hardly can take this as valid answer until https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox exists and in active use by FreeBSD users.

Is there a list of supported WiFi cards in FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT?
Then this should help.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5544-1 Atheros ath9k wireless device driver
Thats what wifibox does on FreeBSD (though I believe the reason is more for drivers than for isolation): https://github.com/pgj/freebsd-wifibox
- Considering FreeBSD as a desktop OS, curious about why it is not more used on the desktop. If you do not use it on desktop, which applications are missing? Any issues that prevent this use?

FreeBSD 14.0 Delivering Great Performance Uplift
Lots of great work by many people. But I bet this guy and his optimizations to the vfs and locking has made a significant impact.

FreeBSD 14.0-Release Announcement
Well there are some examples:
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/tree/main/share/examp...
But yeah that pf.conf could be expanded allot, but there are many source to cobble a conf together. My conf is massive but 99.9% commented out so i have my "template" for nearly everything, from mail to web to blacklistd etc.

Git cherry-pick and revert use 3-way merge
The BSD version is sort of very recent, for what it's worth -- FreeBSD imported a not fully functional version in 2017 and has seen more work on it in 2022: https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/commits/main/usr.bin/... , but the default version shipped is still GNU diff3: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=diff3&apropos=0&se... .
