Wireless ac PCIe interface
Wireless ac PCIe interface
I recently checked out wireless AC speed cards from pbtech, but none seem to come with Linux drivers in the kernel. I’m looking for a wireless, AC, PCIe option with open-source drivers available in New Zealand or affordable internationally—under $60 NZD. If it costs more, I need to consider tax rules or high duty fees before ordering.
operates with Intel 8265 chip, which offers restricted capabilities in Linux, contains minor issues, and lacks drivers provided by the kernel.
Linux kernels starting from version 4.4 support each chipset with a page on Debian or Arch Wiki. The issue is determining which chip each card uses. This isn't about asking for help, just a precise inquiry.
It's a bit tricky, but Ubuntu can be quite challenging to ensure full compatibility. I tried the older version of the card, switching from Bluetooth 4.0 to 4.2, and everything functioned perfectly.
This product functions well and offers a fair price. https://www.asus.com/Networking/PCE-AC51...fications/
The Debian wiki advises using non-free firmware, but I prefer the Ath9k driver and want to switch to AC speed without relying on closed drivers. I’m concerned about updating my NIC during the process.
Linux Mint 18.1 (kernel 4.10.0-19) works fine with the Asus PCE-AC51 wlan card. It had been running before a few kernel updates, but there are still no issues!!!
