iwx driver on AX210 (Framework laptop)

Hi there!

Trying to get OpenBSD running the the Framework laptop. The issue seems to be the AX210 wireless card which is not supported by the iwx driver that comes with 7.1.

I noticed that AX210 *should* be supported according to the commits in the repo as of May 10th - https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/4735940a108c49d416809fae2ba479d59de40589

I checked the firmware snapshot, and the last one is iwx-firmware-20220110p0.tgz - so, older... (I thought)

BUT, the commit message on May 10th (linked above) says that it should work as of snapshot iwx-firmware-20220110 - this seems very strange, the only explanation I could come up with is that the author of the commit published a snapshot with the wrong filename?

Fair enough, I loaded the iwx-firmware-20220110p0.tgz snapshot from an USB drive using fw_update. The card still shows up as "not configured" in dmesg.

Anything else I could try?

Thank you!
