Where would I look for a list of what network chips are supported in any given kernel? I’m looking to build my first computer designed from the ground up for Linux and want to be sure that the Ethernet port and WiFi chip will work without needing to do anything special.
It’s much easier to lookup for info on hardware when you’ve got vendor/product ID or line from lsusb/lspci.
As far as my quick googling goes, one user asked for help on Linux Mint forums as the Wifi wasn’t detected by default. They advised them to upgrade kernel to a newer version and the problem was solved.
Interestingly, there’s that post on HP forums about Windows driver quality being crap and the card actually working better on Linux with its unofficial driver xD https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Wireless-and-Networking/Realtek-8852CE-throughput-issues-and-does-not-support-160/td-p/9031507
