how to enable MLO on be200 ?

[LuccaRehen]

Hello,

I have Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS and installed kernel 6.13.

I inserted ASUS PCE-BE92BT having Intel be200, and are able to associate wireless to a WiFi 7 GW with MLO enabled, however the connection itself is not using MLO,

How can I check if MLO ( and which MLO types) and other WiFi 7 features are enabled and which  can be configured ?

Hello,

on https://downloadmirror.intel.com/842132/ReleaseNotes_WiFi_LinuxCore89.pdf

there are 3 FW Repositories listed.

Can you confirm the firmware I have is OK and no download/upgrade is needed. If so, can you provide instructions starting from one or all of these FW's ?

Best regards

Lucca

Hello LuccaRehen,

Based on further checking and details you shared; this component is only supported on Windows OS.

If this involves self-integration, kindly check the regulatory information available at this link: Regulatory Information Regarding Wireless Hardware Installation or Upgrade

I highly recommend checking with OEM for the latest firmware version to install and/or confirm the supported OS or AP setting to enable it.

Best regards,

JeanetteC.
