Testing on Thinkpad T16 with "Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi" which shows up as
AX211 in some places.

No performance issues. Still pretty slow, as before. Performance was via
Ookla Speedtest as I don't have a system to use iperf3 for testing. Upload
speed was slightly lower and has always been much lower than download. (I
am on symmetrical fiber with, theoretically, matched performance in both
directions.

Unpatched: 23.14 down and 3.14 up. Patched: 22M down and  3.2 to 3.8 up.
Upload is probably inconsistent due to getting another significant digits
This is over the public Internet with an 8ms. RTT.

By contrast, my phone, Pixel 7, gets 350M down and 250 up pretty
consistently ona 500M fiber connection.
