My home wireless router is a Proxmox VE server, that manage some VMs bus also my wireless; practically speking is a debian buster (so hostapd version 2:2.7+git20190128+0c1e29f-6+deb10u2, with a slightly newer kernel, 5.4.78-2-pve). To improve my wireless experience i've bought a newer PCI-E wireless card, based on 'Wifi6' Intel AX200 chipset. Board seems correctly identified by kernel: Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.398005] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION: FSEQ Version: 58.3.35.22 Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.398010] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: Found debug destination: EXTERNAL_DRAM Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.398011] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: Found debug configuration: 0 Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.398350] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: loaded firmware version 50.3e391d3e.0 op_mode iwlmvm Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.431011] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz, REV=0x340 Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.443718] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: Applying debug destination EXTERNAL_DRAM Jan 23 18:40:00 ino kernel: [ 8.444616] iwlwifi 0000:10:00.0: Allocated 0x00400000 bytes for firmware monitor.
