>
> Currently, this hardware is not detected by the Debian 13 kernel (which is
> based on Linux 6.12). This prevents the use of any Wi-Fi functionality on
> this modern card. However, support for this chip was introduced in the
> upstream Linux 6.18 kernel.
>
> Justification:
> Enabling this support would allow users with modern Wi-Fi 7 hardware, such
> as the Fenvi BE200 card, to use their hardware natively in Debian 13
> without needing to compile custom kernels. This would significantly improve
> user experience and hardware compatibility for the distribution.
>
> Additional Information:
> * The hardware is identified via lspci -nn as "Intel Corporation Device
> 272b [8086:272b]".
> * I have personally tested compiling the upstream 6.18 kernel with the
> necessary configuration options enabled (and appropriate firmware
> installed), and the Wi-Fi functionality worked correctly.
> * The relevant upstream kernel configuration options appear to be:
> CONFIG_IWLWIFI, CONFIG_IWLMVM, CONFIG_BT_INTEL, and CONFIG_BT_HCIUART_INTEL.
>
> Thank you very much for your time and hard work in maintaining the Debian
