Intel Preparing WiFi 8 "UHR" Support For Their IWLWIFI Linux Driver

Intel is preparing its IWLWIFI Linux driver to support WiFi 8 UHR. The update targets the UHR standard, a new wireless protocol defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The driver will enable UHR capabilities in Intel's existing chipsets. This support is being developed for Linux-based systems. The move aligns with the Wi-Fi Alliance's push for higher throughput in 802.11ax networks. The release timeline has not been announced.
