I'm having trouble getting WiFi to work on my MSI Pro B850-P motherboard while using the 6.15.8 kernel. Is there no Linux support for this hardware at the kernel level? I'm looking for advice on what steps I can take to enable WiFi. Any insights on whether this chipset will ever get support on Linux would be greatly appreciated!

First off, what's the actual WiFi chipset you're working with? It looks like your board might have a Qualcomm NCM865 chipset. This one can work with Linux, but it often requires some tweaks. Are you using `lspci` to check if the chipset is detected? You might also want to run `dmesg` or check `inxi` to get more info. Remember, it's all about how the kernel interacts with the chipset, not the motherboard itself!
Are you sure there's no support for your WiFi module? Did you check if it works with the current version you're using? Sometimes the chipset info might be buried in the details or it might just need a specific driver that isn't obvious at first. What version of the kernel are you currently using?
I didn't find it using `lspci`, but I'll try the other commands you suggested and let you know what I find. Thanks for your help!
