PCIe/x1: BCM94360CD - native WiFi/ac and BT4LE
Am attempted to put this card into a Gigabyte GA-z97MX-Gaming 5 MB. HS 10.3.3.
It seems to work in the single PCIeX1 slot of the MB. But if I move it to the PCIeX16 or PCIeX8 slots only the BT works. There is no WiFi found in those X8 and X16 slots. It should be able to move right? That's the whole backward compatible part of X1, X4, X8 etc, right? I understand that the BT is a USB device so that's why it continues to work in any PCIe slot.
Why am I bothered you ask? Because if I put my NVidia GFX 950 card in the x16 slot, the x1 slot is covered up by the 2 slot graphics card. So to use the x16 graphics slot I have to move the PCIe/X1 BCM94360CD to a x8 or x4 slot.
Does this make sense to anyone - i.e. that the card doesn't work in x8 slot? Is there a fix, workaround?
