Lucie / minutesince ath9k wifi 4 cards are EOL i'm planning to upgrade the default wifi for classic mnt reform to intel ax210 wifi 6e. anything i should know? (i know it requires binary fw but fw-less modern wifi is no longer a thing)
i'm also interested in be200 but it seems kind of not really out of the oven yet?!
Krishean Draconis@mntmn last i knew the intel be200 cards still only work on intel platforms and the qualcomm cards (NCM865) were very difficult to get ahold of, not sure if any of that has changed in the meantime
Ben Zanin@krishean @mntmn the BE200 cards are known to work on several iterations of the Raspberry Pi¹ ² ³.
There was some confusion about the Intel CPU specificity of this card because of CNVI requirements of some variants of the earlier AX chips, I believe, but the BE200 is not Intel specific, thankfully.
