What a cool thing you guys have going here!

I am on my second day of using this operating system and while I still feel kind of like I'm a toddler walking around with a loaded gun, in that I am as ignorant as I am dangerous (to myself at least), I'm starting to look into some of the neat things you can do and I'm quite impressed!

I just wanted to make a positive post of appreciation as a newcomer to the OS!

I don't think mediatek provide any firmware for this wifi chip ,so better switch it to Intel WiFi adapter

Man, at first I was really bummed because I thought this meant I would have to replace the entire motherboard, but I looked a little deeper and you can just swap out the Wi-Fi card! Miraculous!

Obviously my budget is absolutely wrecked from buying the parts for the computer, but I will probably get the new card in a paycheck or two!

Based on what I have seen the Intel AX6E (or maybe NGW?) would be the target replacement, no?

Yes ax6e will work fine :)
