How to build with the Qualcomm QCN9274 Wi-Fi 7 chipset using the 524WiFi DR9274 NIC series

Qualcomm QCN9274 Wi-Fi 7 on Mainline Linux: No QSDK Required

Looking to bring the Qualcomm QCN9274 Wi-Fi 7 chipset to Mainline Linux? The 524WiFi DR9274 NIC series, built on QCN9274, lets you run Wi-Fi 7 on Ubuntu or Debian with the upstream ath12k driver, with no QSDK dependency.

Are you:

  • Preferring Mainline Linux over Qualcomm QSDK?
  • Looking to run QCN9274 Wi-Fi 7 on Ubuntu or Debian?
  • Working on ath12k driver integration or customization?
  • Developing your own Wi-Fi 7 wireless card or networking platform?

Then the DR9274 Wi-Fi 7 NIC series is built for you.

Why QCN9274 + ath12k on Mainline Linux?

The upstream ath12k driver supports the QCN9274 chipset through the standard Linux wireless stack (cfg80211/mac80211). That means easier maintenance, faster kernel upgrades, and full control over your software, without being locked into a vendor SDK.
