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.

    Realtek LAN is usually not too bad.

    For WiFi, you want mediatek or Intel though.

      We’ve had seemingly endless support issues with mediatek WiFi over the last 2-3y in the asus-linux community. Most people have either pulled their mediatek cards and replaced them with intel or have just gotten used to rebooting every time they have a mediatek driver issue.
