Hi, I just want to know if FreeBSD or any BSD distro supports Mediatek
802.11 wifi chipsets (like MT7921). If so what drivers should I
iinstall?

FreeBSD 13 does not support this card [https://www.freebsd.org/release

Can you link to product information?

Doing so will help to tell whether support is in the pipeline.

Is the *mesh* aspect what interests you?
