Description

Hi, thanks for the project!
My card is MT7921 (14c3:7961) on an AMD hackintosh. The kext loads fine and matches the device, and network scanning works — I can see SSIDs.
But when I try to actually connect to a network, the system either freezes completely or kernel panics. I don't see any GUI app in the repo — is connecting supposed to work through the normal macOS WiFi menu, or is there a separate tool for that?
I saw in the README that association/TX is still being worked on — is this a known issue right now, or should it be working in the latest version? Happy to share panic logs if that helps.
Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the README to confirm the current association/TX status, then reproduce a connection attempt through the normal macOS WiFi menu. Collect the panic logs from the freeze or kernel panic and use them to determine whether the MT7921 connection path can complete without crashing.
