You might find it somewhat easier to install an Ubuntu template (if you don't want to build your own you can download pre-built from https://qubes.3isec.org), and use that for sys-net. You can use AX200 with a bionic template installing the backport-iwlwifi-dkms package, and for AX201 you should be able to use a focal template as is, I think - maybe with relevant firmware added? (Don't have that card so cant test this) In either case you'll want to use the qube kernel rather than one provided by dom0 (HVM mode and set qvm-prefs kernel=none) Worth a try: you'll learn something, but not as much as rolling your own kernel. unman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
