Hi.

One of the HP sales reps, seems to have indicated that the internal
wifi for the "hp  17z-cp300" laptop would be --> "M91238-005". Is this
supported by Ubuntu/kernel?

How can I see that it is (if it is)?

The Linux Hardware Database <https://linux-hardware.org> should provide
details of the WiFi in your laptop model and a either "detected" or "works".  
Vendors often offer optional WiFi internal WiFi cards for large orders.  Newer 
Intel systems moved some network functions into the CPU chipset
CNVi WiFi slot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNVi> and the WiFI is
a CRF (Companion RF) module.

There are WiFi cards with 2 antenna connectors and others with only 1.

See: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/mini-pci-mini-pci-e-mini-pci-e-half-height-guide-laptop-wifi-cards
for pictures of different WiFi cards.
