How can I get my MSI Pro B850-P WiFi motherboard working with Linux WiFi?

I'm facing an issue with my MSI Pro B850-P WiFi motherboard where the WiFi isn't functioning on kernel version 6.15.8. I've heard conflicting info about whether there's kernel level support for this hardware. Is there a chance that it could be supported in the future, or what steps can I take to resolve this?

Do you know what WiFi chipset your motherboard uses? It seems like it's a Qualcomm NCM865, which might work on Linux with some adjustments. This chipset should be supported if you're running kernel 6.13 or newer. Make sure to check it using commands like lspci or dmesg. Linux interacts with the hardware directly, so identifying the chipset is really key here!

So, what makes you think there's no support? Did you check online, or have you actually tried to install it and found it not working? Which version are you using? Let’s figure this out together!
