Re: supported mini pcie wireless cards
Hi Adrian One more question about Atheros chips. Is this M.2 Atheros chip supported? Qualcomm® Atheros Killer™ Wireless-AC 1535 Dual Band 2x2 AC +BT M.2 2230 I have a mac but it's such a pain for so many things, I want to get a barebones notebook and just add supported parts.
