Hello RJS,

Thank you for posting on the Intel* Community.

I need to inform you that Intel has not tested and validated this Intel NUC model with any Linux distribution; however, we have plenty of positive reports from customers that are using the unit successfully on many different Linux distros.

The Intel* NUC10i5FNH includes the Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX201, and what you are seeing is the way in how the OS detects the card.

You can check our website Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters, where you may find useful firmware for your system.

Keep in mind that most Linux-based* distributions include Intel® Wireless drivers. Those drivers are provided and maintained by the Linux* distribution vendors. Contact your operating system vendor (OSV) and use their distribution for driver access and support.

Best regards,
