Has anyone tried installing an Intel BE200 to replace their Intel AX210 Wi-Fi? How did it go? Any compatibility issues? (alien.top)

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 own a Batch 4 AMD FW13. Just received a BE200 in the mail today. Laptop would not boot/post with it installed. Just got the power ight illuminated but no other signs of life.

As soon as I put back the original mediatek card, it worked right away. Seems us AMD users will have a longer wait for internal WiFi 7.
