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.

    I just chuck an add in NIC in and ignore the onboard LAN hardware. Wireless is usually an m.2 board and easily replaced as well. Total cost there is like $30 for both if you pick both up on fleaBay.

      It’s a mini iTX board so I won’t have room for an extra network card. Yes I could swap WiFi chips as it’s a daughter board but then I come back to the issue of what works with Linux
