Install Intel Wi-Fi 7(802.11be) BE200 on Q4OS 5.8

Intel Wi-Fi BE200 does not work on the Q4OS 5.8, because it has Linux kernel 6.1. Intel BE200 required Linux kernel 6.5 or higher.

You need to install new kernel.
At first add Debian backports repository https://backports.debian.org/
$ sudo qrepoadd --gui
select "debian-backports", click OK.

Then install the new kernel:
$ qinst-kernel-bpo

Download Linux patch firmware: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … mware.git/ or https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm … mware.git/

Copy all iwlwifi-gl*.* to /lib/firmware

Reboot.

Heres a good source about what iwlwifi drivers presently support in which kernel.
