Hi,
I am running 7.9-current (same behavior on 7.8 though) on a Macbook Air
M2 using the bwfm wifi driver. From time to time (more often than I'd
like), the driver seems to just stop working. After a resume but
sometimes also in the middle of working on stuff. Running ifconfig then
hangs for a long time and can't read half the info on the bwfm0 device.
Bear in mind its manpage has this to say:
"CAVEATS
The firmware is outdated and contains known vulnerabilities."
I don't have a working C/C++ knowledge (in order to perhaps improve it)
so personally I'd avoid using it. I use a usb<>ethernet adapter for
this sort of context.
