I got the new Dell XPS 15 9500 with the Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX500-DBS WIFI module.
Unfortunately, the Module is not recognized correctly and not usable.
In the device list, it looks like it is recognized as a Qualcomm Device 1101.

I found other people having the same problems in other distros: mint ( https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1881057
), Fedora ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727457
) and Ubuntu ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1879633
).
Is there some way to get it to work in manjaro?
