MT7921, BCM4350, QCA6174, Intel 8260 - Test Results

Closed this issue · 0 comments

As discussed in the discord, posting it all here for clarity. All tested with the 6faf37a action build. I also tested the MT7921 on a version compiled from scratch, didn't seem to make a difference.

MediaTek MT7921

Modern WiFi 6 card - tested on an AMD-based ROG Strix G15 2021 running Arch and Fedora 39. Same result on both.
Pairing, connecting to the console and input all worked. Audio and video output did not. No errors, the output screen just stays blank.

Broadcom BCM4350

Used in the Dell DW1820A card popular in Hackintosh builds. Tested on an Intel-based HP EliteBook 850 G5 running Ubuntu 24.04.
Pairing worked. Connecting back to the console didn't - it looped endlessly on INFO WAITING FOR CONNECTION. Similar failure mode to the other Broadcom chips, seems they're all like this.

Qualcomm QCA6174

Tested on a 1st gen Surface Go running Fedora 40.
Same issues as the MT7921, input works but audio and video don't.

Intel Wireless-AC 8260

Finally, success! Works fine, all features seem to work.
Tested on an Intel-based HP EliteBook 840 G3 running Ubuntu 24.04
