I'm running on my AlderLake WiFi on a first gen Lenovo T16.  It's running
fine with the updated code. I've only been running it for about 3.5 hours,
but everything has been fine. sets up at 5G. Download still seems to have a
hard limit of 40M while other devices get 100M, but that is better than hte
20M I once saw, (Ths change had no impact on that. It jumped to 40M a
while back.)
