Intel BE200 Support on Jetson Orin NX

Hello,

I found this thread

and basically have the same question: How can I use Wifi 7 with an Intel BE200 Wifi card on a Jetson Orin NX?

I am asking the question again as it is marked as solved in the original thread, but the answer is very unspecific and I did not manage to get it work based on the instructions I found. Could someone please give clearer instructions of what I need to do?

Setup:
Hardware: Boson Carrier board with Jetson Orin NX
Software: Jetpack 6.0 with kernel 5.15.136-tegra
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

What I have tried:

  1. From Jetpack 6 Wifi slow startup with backport-iwlwifi-dkms - #13 by dakejahl it says that you should build with some kernel options, but these are already set in the currently running one.
  2. From Jetpack 6 Wifi slow startup with backport-iwlwifi-dkms - #9 by dandelion1124 I chose the nearest backport-iwlwifi release (backports-5.15.153-1) and while I could install it, it didn’t support the Wifi card. Trying with backport-6.1.97-1 did not compile.
  3. Orin NX 16GB wifi problem - #12 by viorel.gheorghe kind of worked, but I do not get Wifi 7 speeds, instead it defaults to a older/slower wifi standard. I get from dmesg

I’d be glad about any tips for how to proceed.

Hi,
We would suggest consult with vendor for support. Or would need other users to share experience.

Or you may consider the module listed in
Wi-Fi 6/6E/7 modules that have been validated with AGX Orin devkits
