Big improvement, no Linux support

Needed an inexpensive card to pair with my AX router and it worked. There were some difficulties with the installation because I replaced the built-in WLAN. After bending the useless soldered clip to remove the thermal shredder, it snapped into place. My biggest concern was compatibility and drivers. As long as you have Windows 10, you're done. Linux users are warned that this may not work. The latest Fenvi was a relatively new AC card and the drivers were found when I connected to the ethernet. No luck this time. There are no Linux drivers on the disc or on the website. I updated the kernel and messed up the graphics and display. That disappoints me, but updates should eventually catch up with tech. I may need to use a distro other than Mint to use AX for now. That small disappointment aside, I'm very happy with the performance. Internet speed may be faster than what my ISP says.
