Okey, that is a 802.11ab (11Mbps) chip. My experiences were only with 802.11g (54Mbps) chips.
In any case, it is VERY odd yours identifies itself as a Class 0200 device. I suppose it should a 0280 (Network controller).
In any case, tkx for the info.
No problem. Can you explain the classes briefly? I'm just curious and I don't know enough about wireless at that level.
I'm not an expert on this either.
As far as I know, the class ID is just to identify what kind of hardware it is. It might affect how the bios/OS handle the device.
0200 - Ethernet controller 0280 - Network controller
Interesting enough, there is a specific class for Wireless. So the Class for these devices should really be 0d80.
It certainly helps loading the apropriate module. Specially generic modules for a given device class (usb-uhci etc).
