Hi everyone! I'm new to Linux and currently using Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS for my job. I recently swapped the AW-XM458 WiFi module from my Forlinx OK3855 board with an Intel AX210, hoping to take advantage of its 6GHz WiFi capabilities. However, after the swap, I noticed that there's no WiFi option in the settings anymore. I tried updating the system and confirmed that I have the necessary iwlwifi driver files. When I ran the command `lspci -nn | grep -i 'network|wireless'`, it did identify the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz network controller in my system. My setup details are:
* Forlinx Embedded OK3855-C V1.3
* Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
* Kernel Version 5.10.209
Please let me know if you need any more info to help me out. Thanks a lot! 🙏

Are you sure the chip is actually an AX210 and not an AX211? Sometimes it's easy to misread the model number.
It seems you're running a kernel version 5.10, but Ubuntu 22.04 typically comes with kernel 5.15 or later. I suggest looking into HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernels to possibly get a newer kernel like 6.11, which should support the AX210.
Yes, I double-checked and the chip clearly says Intel Model: AX210NGW.
