I have a fun issue where 9front resolution depends on EFI boot method. Via
firmware interface, I get 1600x900 but via bootloader (EFI file copied to
esp) I get low resolution.

I can not set resolution via aux/vga so the resolution at boot is the one
that sticks.

btw: is anyone working on additional WiFi firmware (for example atheros)
support?
