Subject: Intel BE200 Wifi 7 card.

Hi,

I have seen lots of reports on the internet that say the Intel BE200
does not work on AMD motherboards.
So, by posting here I was hoping to find out if anyone knew whether it
is a fundamental hardware incompatibility, or whether it is a bug in
the software causing the problem.
Intel's previous Wifi cards like the AX210 seem to work on both Intel
and AMD motherboards
, so maybe the BE200 is not supposed to work on AMD motherboards?
I would be surprised as that probably cuts the BE200 off from about
50% of its market.

Kind Regards

James

Not sure then what it mean: "does not work on AMD motherboards." :)
