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.

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?
