Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to Linux and I'm trying to get it set up for work. I've got this Forlinx OK3855 board that originally had an AW-XM458 Wi-Fi module, but I decided to swap it out for the AX210 so I could take advantage of its 6GHz Wi-Fi capabilities. The problem is, after the swap, I don't see any Wi-Fi options in the settings anymore. I've already updated my system but that didn't help. I believe I need the iwlwifi driver, particularly the iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-59.ucode and the .pnvm files, which I think I have on my system. I ran a command to check the hardware, and it recognized the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz. Here are my specs: Forlinx Embedded OK3855-C V1.3, Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, Kernel Version 5.10.209. If you need any more details, please let me know. Thanks a bunch! 🙏🏼

Are you sure you've got the right model number? Double-check if it's actually the AX211 instead of the AX210; they can be quite similar! That might explain why things aren't working as expected.
It sounds like the board's manufacturer might have updated you about the AX210 compatibility. If they've confirmed it's unsupported, that could be the main reason you're facing issues. You might need to stick with a different module for now. Good luck!
I noticed you're on kernel 5.10. Ubuntu 22.04 usually comes with kernel 5.15 or higher. Maybe consider switching to a Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel? That could potentially solve your issue with the AX210.
