Subject: Intel Wifi 6200 N iwlwifi (Unsupported (too old) EEPROM VER=0x416 < 0x423 CALIB=0x5 < 0x4)

Hi,
I seem to be having and odd issue with iwlwifi (Unsupported (too old)
EEPROM VER=0x416 < 0x423 CALIB=0x5 < 0x4) on a recently purchased Intel
Wifi 6200 N mini pci-e card, is anyone aware of a fix for this ?

I did notice on older 2.6.* kernels it sort of worked (this may have
been iwlagn though?)

Hmm, as in Engineering Sample/Pre-Release? ... if anyone has any
confirmation on that it would be handy - then I can return the card from
whence it came!

Typically that's exactly the case.

Can you send me (privately if you wish) pictures of both sides of the
card?

The last time we saw something like that, the Intel folks said it was
a device that was not supposed to have been released to the wild...?
