But... and speaking only of the Wifi, given that it is a Framework, you
may be able to replace the Wifi with something that works better.  My
Framework came with a screwdriver that lets you take it all apart and
nearly every device has a QR code on it that identifies what it is.  I
don't run NetBSD on it, but it is a pretty nice laptop.
