Hi Kalle, you may already be aware of this, but I just wanted to make sure!

Not all Dell XPS 13 9310 laptops come with the AX500 connectivity chip (the one that uses the QCA6390). It seems that only the models with 32GB RAM tend to come with the AX500 wifi chip.

Most models appear to come with the AX1650 which I believe uses a totally different chip and driver that is already well supported in Linux.

It might be worth double-checking the model that you have ordered has the AX500.
