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.

Using my knowledge of the Linux Kernel, I was about to locate the page. RTL8852CE’s driver is rtw8852ce located in the Rtw89 driver family subset.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
