Please help with the Intel AX211 wifi problem.
I have read that WIFI is a bad idea for proxmox pve on this forum, but I don't believe debian 12.2.0-14 doesn't support working AX211 WiFi hardware.

Maybe someone solved this problem before and would like to share his experience.

Thank you in advance.
 
I don't have the same device but the "on-board" WiFi fails when Above 4G Decoding is enabled in the motherboard BIOS.
Please be aware that you have to setup WiFi manually because Proxmox does not support it (as it cannot work as a virtual bridge).
