When this HP 17-cxxxn laptop was gifted to me by my son on my birthday a year ago I worked to get the internal wifi chip recognized ... and failed. Primarily because the teeny tiny little female socket that fit on the male plug on the board was crushed when I attempted to plug it back in, a result of hand tremors. So, I purchased a CUDY USB wifi chip that had the 88x2bu chip. After a few days of struggling to get it connected I found a dkms hack on github that worked ok. Informed of the 6.4 kernel in the bookworm-backports I purged the dkms apt & github files, commented out the blacklist command in /etc/modules.d/88x2bu.conf file, and installed that repo this morning and then installed the 6.4 kernel.
When I rebooted I was greeted with an active wifi icon in the panel.
Nice!
PS- 585 Mbits/s is faster than my 500MBits/s fiber optic cable.
