My goal is a blobless Linux Framework laptop, but AFAIK there are no open source drivers for the included AMD RZ616 WiFi card. What would you do, replace that it a different M.2 card? Do any blobless ones exist? Any recommendations?

    From what I understand, the AMD WLAN modules are provided by mediatek. They’ve actually gotten a bit better with Linux support over time but procuring Windows drivers for them is bizarre.

    Not to blame MT here. AMD should probably do a better job of supporting these modules since they’re branded as such.
