Johannes asked to forward it to the support system [1]. This was done now by Sharadanand [2]. Interested persons might check the status there in case there is no update in this thread. Just for the laughs: Intel recommended [3] a couple of weeks ago to get a cellar [4] where your Intel card can only receive an (from a legal perspective incorrectly configured) AP which was set to the US country code. While it is dubious for various reasons, this was part of the marked as solution (which closed the discussion). I still hope that Intel customers aren't forced to move their apartments into properly shielded cellars to use Intel HW. Would give the German term "Kellerkind" a new meaning. :) Kind regards, Sven [1] https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#support [2] https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/6-GHz-Wifi-with-AX210/td-p/1329556 [3] https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/6-GHz-Wifi-with-AX210-and-Ubuntu-20-04/td-p/1318011 [4] I still have some hope that they actually meant "shield box" here. And only recommended it for controlled tests and not normal operation
