Hello,

Since more than 1 week and intense use, I found iwlwifi on AX201 stable:

- regularly iperf3 tests directly to router: OK, constant bitrate
- no more crashes

NOTE:
As a side note, iwx driver was always stable on my machine.
Now I can use one of the two without noticing diffs between.

Very happy here.

Thanks,

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; with the changes (especially for scanning--rtw88) and all the other<br>
