Ouch, I just bought a gigabyte b650 because reddit told me the intel wifi would play nicer with ubuntu than a realtek card. I don't know who to believe anymore.
This bug is for using the Intel card as a WiFi access point. For using it as a WiFi client, Intel cards still "just work," and there aren't any other good WiFi options afaik. Realtek and Broadcom do suck. Atheros used to be good a long time ago with ath9k, but I don't think they're really around anymore (?).
I'm relatively certain that the regulatory locale non/misdetection will affect station mode (power) limits as well, people will probably just notice that less often (as the main hindrance to ap mode is the "no IR" flags).
In my experience, the Intel WiFi drivers work fine, unless you want to set up an access point.
Still kind of crappy, but my experience with Broadcom is so bad that I'd rather lack the 160MHz channels (and use 80MHz) than try to get Broadcom's drivers to work right.
