As far as I know (which is very little!), it has not been ported. I was issued a Dell XPS 13 (9380) a couple of months ago. Linux used the ath10k driver, for the WiFi, which was a QCA6174 chip. I thought it would be a matter of swapping out the card, as they are normally an M.2 type. However on this model Dell decided to solder it to the main-board! I ended up giving it back to work IT and got a Dell Latitude 3300, as that was all I could find from Dell that stated it had an Intel chip (8265). It's nowhere near as sleek as the XPS 13, however everything works under OpenBSD (thanks everyone!). Regards Timothy
