The AX210 and AX210 vPro are the two WiFi modules we’re currently making available with the Framework Laptop DIY Edition. These are brand new modules that support WiFi 6E and have only recently started to get support in Linux. There was support in kernel 5.10, followed by a firmware regression in kernel 5.11 which was fixed in 5.12. We recommend using kernel 5.12 or newer if you’ll be using an AX210 with the Framework Laptop. This should be rolling out in popular Linux distros over the next months.
There’s more context on this here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212371
We also recommend avoiding the vPro version for now, since there may be issues with standby power consumption in Linux.
