NUC8 / Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 / Linux driver wifi

I’m not adding WiFi support past what’s already there, as we do not want anyone to use it and then come to us with issues. You can work around it using a bridge, but at least then you will know you did something bad if it doesn’t perform.

The only other issue is this issue of the BIOS showing no legacy boot, or not having it uncheckable. Many have not at this issue and those who have have silently gone away and failed to produce forensics that would help us determine why (screenshots, videos, serial numbers, intel support conversation logs, etc…).

I’m willing to ignore the BIOS “legacy vs UEFI boot” issue until we have further real evidence it is real, and the WiFi support is not being added. I’m unaware of any other issues at hand with the NUC8iXBE line, so my recommendation is to have @mike put it back on the supported list, with the caveat that WiFi only works on the older NUCs.

If any other issues are found, let us know by opening another topic and telling us what’s wrong.
