Looking for PCIx to Mini half height

I bought the TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter

I am planning to get the gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI and was wondering if there is an adapter so I don't have to return it. I suppose I could use it if it will plug in to the x16 slot but I was planning to put my video card in there. It cost me $35 dollars so I know it would be an expensive solution but it might be good to know if there is such a product for other accessories.

Here is a product that looks useful for this board if you need a full height card. Its a ribbon cable mPCIe extender.

A PCI-e 1x card will work in a PCI-e 16x slot but that sure seems like a waste of the slot. There are OS X compatible USB wifi adapters that you can use if you need wifi.

If you can remove the cover on the TP-link and if there is a half height mPCIe card slot connector and card under the cover you could probably detach it and put it in the mPCIe slot on the main board, replacing the OEM card that is unsupported.
If this is not possible, the DW1515 or the Atheros 9280 at Amazon.com is not that expensive

You can't go PCIe -> mini-PCIe, only the other way around as far as I know. With a PCIe -> mini-PCIe adapter, where would you fasten the PCIe card? It's huge compared to a mini-PCIe card (and indeed the slot). So, no, I doubt you will find an adapter.

Anyway, you can get a mini-PCIe card for as low as $10.
