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.

      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)

      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.

      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:

      We have reported the problem to AMD but currently AMD motherboard do not support Wi-Fi 7. Supporting Wi-Fi 7 depends on AMD’s plan, if AMD plans to support Wi-Fi 7 in the future, it will be announced on the website.
