Good afternoon
I'd like to agree that HP plays fair with drivers.
A friend bought a HP laptop last year. His favoured distro is Mint(bunt)
which I have found provided good support for ALL wifi. But he had to
buy a plug-in USB dongle wifi.
Admittedly, we haven't been able to meet face to face long enough to try
harder with him. I suggested he try a new Mint Edge complete with
kernel 5.11, but he can't find his toy. I reckon my wifi is working
much better than ever with the 5.11 kernel
I sat listening to Keith Packard at linux.conf.au 2016, quite impressed
with his support for OSS in general. Pity about this wifi card in his
laptop. And no, I don't know model details. It was pretty cheap.
