Hello everyone, I need testers from laptop users who got Intel WiFi AX211 chip. If you like to know the benefits of modifying this driver please continue reading. All I need from you is to provide a screenshot of your HWID from device manager like this to help me provide support for all Intel AX 211 variants since they got Multiple HWID's with the same name.
Here's an example of what I need...
I have managed to convert WiFi chip from Intel AX211 to a AX411 since both have the exact hardware spec. Intel applied arbitrary limitations to AX211 WiFi chip so they can sell AX411... but it's now using the new NetAdapterCx (Network Adapter WDF Class Extension) with my modified driver on AX211!, Which they only did it for AX411 while they kept AX211 with an old ndis.sys one deliberately.
It's simply a driver limitation Intel put it on but HW supports it bec. AX211=AX411 literally. It also have DCT [Double Connect Tech.] Intel only did it for AX411 while leaving AX211 without DCT feature although I would need find a way to test it if DCT actually works with AX211 since I have the option to enable it on the driver settings through device manager.
Benefits & Features with NetAdapterCx driver support are...

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/netcx/wifi-wdf-class-extension-wificx
Here's some proof picture that I did it with success! + Technical detail about Intel dividing the features between AX211/AX411 through driver structure changes...
Once I get enough variants of Intel AX211 I will then create another thread and share the driver to the public as I will be supporting Intel AX211 as a whole

Benefits & Features with NetAdapterCx driver support are...
- Lower ndis.sys DPC routines
- Lower CPU utilization during high load networking
- Lower latency when compared between NetAdapterCx based drivers vs ndis.sys based drivers.
- DCT [Double Connect Tech.] which officially AX211 doesn't have it but supported in HW.
