mt7925-wifi: 2026-10-31 (full run, window 2026-10-30 16:00 UTC to 2026-10-31)

Notable

qiqco/MT7922-macOS-Driver: a native Skywalk Wi-Fi and Bluetooth driver for the MT7922 on macOS 26, binaries only. No licence and no source (the README says source stays closed to keep the developer motivated), so nothing to read beyond the README and release notes and nothing we can reuse. They claim the Wi-Fi menu works, 5 GHz up to 80 MHz, 6 GHz not connecting, and AWDL "under test"; release 1.2.37b2 says AirDrop is not fixed and that awdl0 may not release, which can block shutdown (roll back to the previous release). The README also reports a 1-in-5 to 1-in-20 panic after a warm reboot, which they guess is firmware load and unload. That resembles our own warm-reset failure (mt7925-hackintosh-wifi#1). For #2 (other MediaTek cards) it is a lead, not a source: we have not run or audited the binaries. Confidence: Low (unaudited claims).

Noise

Discovery: dragorn/userspace-wifi (libusb capture tool) and a Rapoo mouse manager.
