I just got this for my N100 mini-PC, but no kernel driver loads for it.

lspci reports it as CNVi with no driver

00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation CNVi: Wi-Fi [8086:54f0]
        DeviceName: Onboard - Ethernet
        Subsystem: Rivet Networks Device [1a56:1692]

Ok, installed kmod-iwlwifi :wink: but now it fails:

[ 3786.656033] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX1690i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (411NGW)
