Lagging upstream support. Something is coming in 5.16 from what I've heard. Intel on the other hand support their WiFi in a timely fashion and their drivers are pretty solid. I simply made myself a rule to only use Intel WiFi becasue of so many problems with other drivers in the past even if the do exist. Save yourself the trouble and frustration.

> Intel wifi is not available because chip shortag so it's either realtek or mediatek.

They are not that hard to buy as a separate part. I bought one recently to replace this Mediatek chip.
