Thanks for the help.

In the past I looked on line to see whether folks had luck with a
motherboard, but the Gigabyte Z-590 is too new. There are only hints
it might work but also a problem or two has shown up.

As the result I've not acquired any exprtise matching
kernels and chipsets. For example, how did you find out that the AORIS
wifi chiop appearss to be Intel GE? It is not specified in Gigabyte
specs.

Then I'm unsure how to find if whether a spefic kernel has a module
for a specific chipset.
