Ok I got it working, just had to put the intel firmware drivers into the minimal template. I downloaded them with another VM as no wget in minimal template, then copied the “iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode” file to the minimal template
qvm-run -u root fedora-34-minimal xterm
in xterm just launched from above command navigate to directory for driver
sudo cp iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode /lib/firmware
shutdown sys-net,
change back to minimal template,

Downloads are WAY faster, getting 320Mbps with OpenSpeedTest through a concrete floor (was only getting 30Mbps before)
EDIT: it appears the version on the intel site is an old version 46, is there a way to include wifi firmware in updates?
