      |  v74       v77
------+----------------
6.3.3 | crash      n/a
6.3.5 | crash      n/a
git   |   ok        ok

(git ~ commit ae8373a5add4ea39f032563cf12a02946d1e3546)
(n/a ~ the driver does not support the firmware, i.e. IWL_22000_UCODE_API_MAX is too low)

So it appears that some commits might need to be backported for it work.

But every time it is detected as an AX101. I am more concerned about the misdetection.
Who is mistaken? lspci or iwlwifi? What are the potential consequences?
