MediaTek MT7922A/AMD RZ616

Got my new wireless chipset in today to upgrade from the MT7921. The MT7922 is a full 6E card. Supports all the 6E features, and has full Bluetooth 5.2 support. The biggest reason to go to the 7922 over the 7921 is because the 7921 while it TECHNICALLY supports some Wifi 6/6E, it doesn't support the 160MHz channels, so it's NOT able to support the #1 thing that allows 6/6E to be so much faster than AC (which are 80MHz channels)
Been testing with it, and if you need an upgrade to a 6/6E card, this is definitely not bad. It does require a 5.19 or newer kernel to work flawlessly (it works in anything 5.15+), but if you meet those conditions it really is a great card. My range with this card is unbelievable. I do believe it outranges the Intel AX210!!!
So overall, is it better than the AX210? Probably not, they're more about the same, however, given that this is the "official" chipset that is badged as an AMD in some systems, if you have a Ryzen machine, it's kinda nice to be able to say you're all AMD including the wireless.
