Hi, some of the Dell XPS 15 9500 models have QCA6390 Wi-Fi 6 device. ath11k will be the driver to support QCA6390 and the plan is that Linux v5.10 (most likely released end of December) will be the first release to support it. But as everything is not ready yet I recommend people to test ath11k-qca6390-bringup branch, and specifically tag ath11k-qca6390-bringup-202008181507. Below are instructions how to install kernel and firmware. Do note that this is still experimental, there will be bugs but at least it should be possible to connect to an AP and have connectivity. Please send all questions, comments and bug reports to ath11k@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx list. I do not have time to reply to private email. I have Bcced people who have contacted me privately.
