<< Solved >> I'm struggling with detecting my Fenvi T919 on my BigSur X299

Make sure that the module that was supplied with the motherboard is either removed or disabled in the BIOS settings.

I don't care for dual boot at all, so hopefully that makes my life easier to setup

As far as which PCIe, I only have full-size PCIs on my board. Here's the complete setup of what I have:

This is the same on my board layout:

removed or disabled in the BIOS settings

Thank you P1lgrim!
How, where?
If I send you an image of my boot, would you help me to tell which options to toggle to off please?

Looks good

My own Fenvi was in a full-sized slot and worked okay.

@P1LGRIM makes a good point. In the BIOS there is a simple toggle enabled/disabled for the onboard Intel chip. Could be in Peripherals / LAN section.

It's not rocket science, just read your motherboard manual.

Found this, and switched this to Disabled:

Please help if anywhere else I need to toggle something.

Anywhere else?

that is your LAN....

Found this, and switched this to Disabled:

Bad choice, that's your Ethernet controller not wireless.

Check the manual. That might be ethernet LAN.

Check the manual

The manual for this motherboard shows nothing on how to disable the wireless card.
I re-enabled OnBoard Lan Controller, there are two options below for installed cards:

and expanding the first gives me this submenu:

The second option is for Ethernet Connection:

which leads to this sub-menu:

I don't know where else to go from here. There's no option to switch either one of them to off.
