Description
Would it be possible to add the Linux Kernel for the Broadcom Wi-Fi cards like the QCNCM865 chipset?
I know that the os is build around stability and persistent connectivity where a wired LAN connection is normally key, but I think having wireless as an option especially as a fail save backup (in my case I have two connections in my home network one via DSL and an additional 5G one, but this only serves Wi-Fi in my case).
With the addition of support for the Intel AX210 last year I hope that we maybe can get the Broadcom one as well because the newer AMD CPUs dont support the Intel Wi-Fi 7 cards.
The card gets detected via lspci
➜ $ lspci | grep -i network
