[Make-wifi-fast] mediatek finally submits their 802.11ax driver

[Dave Taht]

Dear Ryder:

Any chance the bufferbloat effort can get their hands on some working devboards?

All Hail:

And the binary blob, is very very small. All sorts of hints at new
useful features here.

Both. As to how many? Who here would like to help make a 802.11ax chip

Platformwise - something with an arm a72 would be nice.
