The firmware version will change over time as Pi OS is updated to newer kernels, but as of March 2025, running kernel 6.6.y, the instructions for installing the appropriate firmware are as follows:

To physically connect the card to a Pi 5, you may need to buy an M.2 A+E key to PCI Express card adapter, like [Waveshare's PCIe to M.2 E-key HAT+](https://amzn.to/3XpXOpg). The Waveshare HAT includes adapters from the MHF4 to u.FL antenna connectors, and you can then use any standard SMA screw-on antenna with the HAT. Otherwise, you have to figure out how to get MHF4 to some form of antenna.
