Description

@tlaurion

AX201 is WIFI card deployed on QubesOS certified Novacustom Nv41, Dasharo+UEFI/Heads compatible HCL. Worked under debian-12 before, not since last dom0 kernel-latest update.

Debian-12 based sys-net, bug just hit me today per last dom0 kernel-latest upgrade.

Thankfully, CDC based tethering through USB and passing android sys-usb device to sys-net permitted me to not disturb my workflow (which is what I used most of the time when roaming anyway with disp sys-net not needing to type any password, since I trust my grapheneos more than my wifi card, when roaming).
