MP All Models WiFi 6 802.11ax on Mac Pro, what's the easiest most compatible way?

[ZombiePhysicist]

In the past with the 5,1 cMP, we could just swap out the Airport card for essentially a newer card, and everything automagically worked to upgrade our WiFi.

Is there a similar upgrade path available today? Particularly, I'm curious what WiFi 6 upgrades are available for the 7,1?

Thanks for any pointers!

Apple never released a Intel Mac with 802.11ax, just M1 ones where the Wi-Fi and BT controller is on-board, so no new modules available.

All Intel Macs released after 2019 Mac Pro have the same Wi-Fi and BT specs as it.

So to upgrade we will have to go either to some USB dongle, or some PCI card, I guess?
