Wifi 7 on Framework 13 11th Gen

I am wondering if anyone has had any luck upgrading to a Wifi 7 card.
I have a Laptop 13, 11th Gen I5 with the Intel Ax210 wifi card. Running Linux Mint 22.

Looking specifically at the Intel BE200 series cards.

Looks like Linux supports it in kernel versions 6.5 and later. As long as the kernel version is that version or newer it should work.

I’ve bought the BE200 for my FW 13 / 11th Gen / i5. I’m under Arch linux 6.10.6-zen1 with iwd, the card is detected and can connect in 2.4Ghz / 5.0Ghz but the 6Ghz band isn’t detected, and I’ve lost my bluetooth.

I’ve read that LinuxMint make it works out-of-the-box, I’ve booted on a their live CD and indeed the 6Ghz network appear BUT multiple crash and not able to stay online more than few seconds.

So, I’ll return it and try the Qualcomm version that seems to be supported ( at least in 6.11 )
