Does Intel AX 211 wireless chipset work well in Fedora 36?

I am thinking of buying a new laptop computer that has Intel 12th generation Alder Lake CPU and Intel AX 211 wireless chipset. The latter is touted to provide Wireless 6E and MIMO.

I wish to know if anyone here has the above specified hardware and is able to have wireless connectivity with Fedora 36.

P.S.: I have read articles on the internet that at the time of writing this post, it is better for me to wait for Linux kernel version 5.20 and updated Linux drivers for Intel AX 211 to be launched officially.
