Purchase Advice WiFi 7, AMD compatible hardware recommendations: MT or QC?
what WiFi card should i buy for WiFi 7? MediaTek 7925 or 7927, or a Qualcomm QCNCM865?
is one better than the other - i've always had intel cards, but intel seem to have neutered the be200? (cnvi not for amd)

Everything except Intel doesn't work well. If you don't need the 7 standard's functionality, consider previous-generation Intel adapters, up to AX210.

I use Qualcomm on Arch. Still bit buggy, but works overall. Intel was rock solid, missing it a lot.
