I watch linux-wireless and have noticed Intel bringing their WiFi 7 drivers in. What I do not know is what kernel would be the first to have support for this specific chipset.
Yeah, Intel and AP. I gave up on that. My last PCIe card is based on the mt7922 chipset. Very nice and works well but is not WiFi 7. What I can tell you is the mt7925 chipset driver went into kernel 6.7. The patch notes say it supports PCIe and USB. It is WiFi 7. What I do not have is hardware to test. Will we start having hardware soon? I hope so. How about you keep an eye out and let me know. The cards should show up before the adapters. Interestingly, I have seen no indication that Realtek even knows what WiFi 7 is, let along that they are planning to release anything. They can't use the out-of-kernel drivers as we know them because the kernel now has code in it to prevent WiFi 7 drivers that are not fully Linux Wireless Standards compliant from being able to execute. I will not miss those drivers. |

OT but does anyone know if I can replace the Intel CNVi card in my laptop with a regular M.2 card? |

It's technically not a USB Wi-Fi chip set , but this has become my go to for Linux WiFi chip driver information.
Is it working as a 802.11BE / WiFi 7 client? AP? Multiple Link Operation ?
I'm loathe to go back to Intel due to their garbage Location (Un)Aware Registry "feature", closed blobs, etc. But WiFi 7, especially MLO is calling me....
