I use Windows 11 most of the time and sometimes Ubuntu 23.04 (will update to 23.10 later). I know Windows 11 should support it (assuming latest versions). Since Ubuntu 23.10 uses the latest 6.5 Linux kernel, which brings Wi-Fi7 support, it seems to be able to support it too. I’m just unsure about the hardware part and the overall compatibility. (I’m on 13th gen i7-1360P)
Edit: I don’t have high hopes
Seems like it may not work
I’ll email framework about this, see if I can get an official statement from then and have them update the list of compatible Wi-Fi cards
I contacted ASRock regarding the compatibility of my AMD X570-based ASRock motherboard. According to them, the BE200 Wi-Fi card only works with 600 and 700 series Intel chipsets/platforms, and that AMD platforms do not support Intel Wi-Fi 7 cards.
I’ve got two on the way anyway. I’ll give it a go, and if it doesn’t work, I’ll re-sell on eBay hopefully for a small profit as I got a pretty good deal from Mouser on these.
Tried in my ASrock X570M Pro4. No go. Doesn’t POST. So weird.
I’ve got an OptiPlex 7060. Will try one in there and see how I go.
I’m looking forward to your experience (I have an MSI X710 I want to upgrade from AX200 to get Bluetooth LE Audio, so either an AX211 or a BE200)
Tested in my OptiPlex 7060 with i5 8500. Worked fine. Just had to install the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers from the Intel website as they’re not built into Windows or available through Windows Update yet.
So it seems on Intel platforms, the BE2000 is a drop-in replacement. AMD, for some reason, not so much.
Followed up with ASRock asking if AMD support was something that may come in the future and they said:
