Both wifi drivers are in the linux kernel as far as I can tell.
LCD deck uses
rtw88_8822ce, which has been in the linux kernel since 5/2019.OLED deck uses
ath11k_pci, which has been in the linux kernel since 9/2023.The Arch Wiki page on the Steam Deck is also a good source for this sort of thing, since it looks at what’s needed to run standard Arch on the Deck.
