Commands to install AX210NGW driver in Debian

[RogerAGrimes]

I have Debian GNU/Linux 12 (running in Qubes). I just bought the AX210NGW wireless chipset card and physically installed it in my Dell laptop. I started up my Debian distro, downloaded the Intel Linux drivers for the card, exploded the tar file into /tmp, which made like a hundred folders and files.

What is the command I would type to install the wireless driver into my Debian distro?

Sorry for the newbie question, but I can't find it anywhere.

Additionally, have you tried contacting your system manufacturer before installing the new adapter? They might have specific guidance for your setup. I will get back to you once I have additional information.

Hello RogerAGrimes,

I wanted to clarify some points regarding your concern. After thoroughly reviewing your issue, I believe that the best course of action is to contact your motherboard manufacturer for further assistance. They have the specialized knowledge and resources to help resolve the problem effectively.

Please see the information below.

1. An Intel® Wireless Adapter installed in a system that is being sold on the market doesn't necessarily mean that same wireless adapter can be used or installed in any other systems for the above-mentioned reason.
2. Installation or use of Intel® Wireless Adapters is subject to country-specific legal regulations. Some countries require the Intel® Wireless Adapters to be certified with the antenna that is intended to be used together in the system, while some countries require the Intel® Wireless Adapter to be certified at the full system level. For example, in the US, the official rules governing the use of antennas with certified modules is covered under rule parts 15.203, 15.247 and 15.407. These can be accessed and/or downloaded at the FCC site.
3. As each country may have different regulatory requirements, before you install/change the Intel® Wireless Adapter in a system, you must contact the system manufacturer to determine if the Intel® Wireless Adapters you plan to install is approved for use in your system and country. You are required to follow the manufacturer's post-approval requirements.
4. If the manufacturer doesn't have the necessary approvals, the party installing the device is responsible for approvals. Installing adapters in an unauthorized system may be illegal. The end user is not authorized to install the Intel® Wireless Adapters (except the retail products below). Only the manufacturer or its authorized representative can install the adapters.
5. If you have already performed the integration, it is also important to understand that it may not work due to hardware or software compatibility issues or dependencies.
6. Intel wireless firmware and drivers have a dependency on the Linux kernel version. Only specific versions of wireless firmware and drivers are guaranteed to work with particular kernel versions. We support use of the drivers only in the kernel version which the driver was a part of. This is further described in Intel's article: Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters

 Thank you for your understanding.

Best,
