Highlights from the Framework (2nd Gen) Event

BTW - if you mention that one - AMD RZ717 Wi-Fi 7, it’s MediaTek based and it’s not a great option. WiFi 7 limited to 160MHz and I believe it would be glitchy as previous ones…
Note: It available on eBay

I would suggest to look at the Qualcomm QCNCM865, which is also WiFi 7 / BT 5.3 and working great on current FW13 and FW16 (I have both with that card installed). Working great on Ubuntu as well as on Win 11 (however there required drivers to load beforehand and disable AMD BT Audio in Device Manager as it’s conflicting with BT). Speeds are 1.3Gbits over WiFi 7 for me (for Ubuntu ~650Mbits though), no issues so far.

Note 2: Intel BE200 / Intel BE202 not working on AMD Motherboards - crashing FW on starting BIOS checks.
