Here is the reason I am selling this motherboard and buying the ASrock Phantom ITX. The Wifi/BT slot only accepts the CNVi Intel card (or compatible). Any other NGFF cards have different pins and will fit in the slot but will not be registered (even in Windows).Did this work for you? Did you have to apply any kexts?
Sorry, but no good news for this ITX board that could have been a dream build. I usually favor Gigabyte. Gigabyte Support confirms the slot only accepts CNVi Intel cards. That explains why Windows did not detect any other card. Strangely (or not?) Bluetooth works great on OS X, just no wifi.I look forward to your good news.
The reason I always buy mini-ITX motherboard with WiFi is of course to use the slot for WiFi! So now we can agree on this, and please no more confusing posts about how someone used another card, etc.
For Aorus Z390 i Pro WIFI - built-in WIFI slot will not work in OS X with any card. If you must use this motherboard, you must use a USB wifi adapter!
For me, at least, BT works though, so it would mean you only need a USB WiFi adapter. USB WiFi adapters are expensive if you want 802.11b/n/AC speed.
