No Android device currently uses the AX series. So Intel doesn’t have a driver for Android. You could try to hack it since Android runs the Linux kernel, but the subsystems ate different.

What is the TX power?
I actually dislike this card … the antenna are the DEVIL in disguise 
People with big fingers have a rough time getting them attached

which one A8 or AX?
any advice for a card with both linux and android support?
do you have more info on what the issue is with BT.
Radxa Wireless Module A8 is the recommended WiFi/BT card for ROCK 5B, it’s just 9.9$, very good price/value.

thanks for quick reply, unfortunately already placed my order for rock5b,
just dropped a message to allnet to see if I can update my order with that board to avoid paying shipping fees again
if you have an old laptop then it is a good chance that in there are 2 antennas and a m.2 wifi/bt card

I do but it is from 2015, so a bit outdated wifi and bt norm, but will have a look at the motherboard I kept in garage 
might be good a temporary solution until I get better card, thanks for the tip
and I paid full price for it 
extracted that card from my old laptop, do you know if that would fit in Rock5B? not sure but seems like E and not B-key?
do you have your rock 5b allready?
if yes just try it if it fits turn it on and test it if not then you could buy an adaptor or order another card
it’s on its way, maybe I’ll have it next week, wanted to know if i had to look for another wifi card otherwise will be stuck with no network…
it will work its an e key and the m.2 slot on the top of the rock 5b is also an e key

really?! thought it was B-key slots on rock5B…
quite misleading all these different format M.2 B/E/M-key, mPCIE…
not talking about underlying protocol, ngff, nvme, etc…
edit: but you’re right looking at the module at the beginning of this topic, it written M.2 E-key, so seems like I’ll be able to use my previous laptop wifi/bt card, that’s good news. though at some point will probably upgrade to newer wifi6/bt5

Just look at dmesg and add proper firmware file to /lib/firmware
Hi, does wifi module A8 compatibility with rock3a ?
The damn antenna wires are too short-one broke off when I tried to attach it to the module while assembling the case. If they 1" longer it would have been fine.
