[opensuse] Looking for recommendations: Wi-FI 802.11ac + Bluetooth card for laptop
Hi everyone! I want to replace my laptop's Wi-Fi + Bluetooth card: Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA335 https://www.amazon.com/Atheros-QCNFA335-Bluetooth4-0-Wireless-Lenovo/dp/B019... by one that also connects to Wi-FI 802.11ac (5GHz) and is better supported on Linux. I already had problems with Bluetooth in the past: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/524410-Qualcomm-Atheros-Bluetooth... For it to work, I need to do some tweaking... (for instance, on a Live system, I have no chance) Searching this list, I found this model, which seems to be what I'm looking for: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 - Wi-FI 802.11a/b/g/n/ac 2.4/5GHz + Bluetooth 4.2 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-8260-IEEE-802-11ac-Adapter/dp/B0197W86IE Can someone please confirm that it works flawlessly out of the box on openSUSE Leap 15.x? Or recommend another model that does? Thank you!

Hi Antonio, I can confirm that this model works. But I'd recommend to get an Intel Wifi 8265 as there were troubles with 8260 and the firmware in the past (not openSUSE, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yep. Leap kernel (or oS kernel in general) are way newer as their version number suggest due to the many patches and backports. So I wouldn't even expect problems with 9xxx series though I haven't tried them myself yet.
