Mediatek MT7921/AMD RZ608

So, picked up one of these just to test with. It's Wifi 6E + BT 5.2, but the 7921/608 only does 80MHz channels, for 160MHz channels you need to upgrade to the 7922/RZ616 (which I'm having a HORRIBLE time finding for sale). Just picked up a single one since I don't have 6e router, this is actually lower performance than an AX200 for me theoretically. Threw it in my T495 running KDE Neon (5.13.0-35 kernel) and it worked out of the box. Seems SUPER fast, definitely FEELS faster than the AX200 that it replaced. Not sure that it is, but feels it.
At any rate, just an internal card that can be easily found VERY inexpensively if anyone needs to get an internal m.2 AX chipset and looking for something that "just works" (does require non-free firmware on most OS's).
I actually really want to find a couple of the MT7922/RZ616 cards now to test them.
