Slowly working on reviving an old Asus AX1200. Got linux mint running on it but was wondering if there's any recommendations for wireless PCEx1 cards to look out for? Bonus if it's got bluetooth as well.

if you can find what chipset a listing is using you can look it up. I just looked up the top result (Asus ax1800) and it seems to be supported in linux >5.12 , though there are some people encountering bugs on oldish kernels.

I just used google and http://linux-hardware.org

edit: is this for a router??

Router? No, looking for a wireless/bluetooth card for a PC.
