I have an ASUS B365M-A that on which I've installed an M.2 wifi card via m.2 to PCIe x1 adapter but it is not detected in Linux or Windows 10. There was one spot that it showed up in Windows in Revo Uninstaller under windows tools I saw Intel dual band-ac 3168, but it does not show in Device Manager & Linux makes no mention of it anywhere. I ran tail command on /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg while plugging card in and it only showed the usb-bluetooth, no wifi at all.
I don't have any way of checking the components that I am aware of, so I don't know if it is a problem with the Intel card, the M.2 to PCIe adapter or the motherboard.
I have no idea which direction to go. Can someone direct me on how to go about solving this ?
adapter: m.2 adapter
card: wifi card
EDIT: It's the motherboard. Changed it from full-height to half-height card and installed it in an old SFF Dell Optiplex and wifi works fine. Now I have to find out if it is hardware or software on the motherboard stopping it from working on the Asus mobo ?
