I'm looking at a Gigabyte Z590 AORUS Elite motherboard. One version of this motherbard (designated Ax) is "wifi-enabled". It also supports bluetooth I suppose this means that the NIC is on the board. I have no reason to think this would be useful under Linux. Am I wrong?
The Wi-Fi chip on that board appears to be an Intel 6E with Bluetooth 5.2 integrated on the chipset. There appears to be a wired LAN port as well. You might be able to use either, or both.
It also supports bluetooth, but I've no idea what is the use of a MB bluetooth connection with a motherboard.
As with any other chipset on that board, I would check that the Linux kernel (of your distro) includes support (kernel modules) for those electronics. Bluetooth is handy for wireless headsets and maybe other things, but I don't tend to use it myself. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
