As for Wifi/BT cards I'm a total noob since I always had my hackintoshes on Ethernet until now, but since I just replaced my main system and shoved my old Hack to the side I figured Wifi would be a nice thing to have. Now after looking over the board again I saw that it has that little M.2 Socket 1 slot for Wifi cards, marked as "for Intel CNVI" in the handbook, and I was wondering what cards are in general compatible with it and, preferably, even compatible with MacOS? Even on the Windows side I never shopped for these before and have no clue where to start, I just noticed those come pretty cheap on Amazon. Any buying advice for something cheap or should I just get some Wifi/BT USB stick?
Also, with my M.2 storage slots filled I have the problem with too many used PCIe lanes on my old 9600k as soon as I add another PCIe card, limiting the GPU to just 8x which I'd like to avoid, would adding a Wifi card to that CNVI slot cause the same problem?
Board is the Gigabyte Z390m Gaming, 9600k, using OpenCore and Ventura.
