Triela 2

I found that I never wrote about the Intel Wifi+Bluetooth card that I talked about a while ago. I did order it and tested it out, but was still unable to get the wifi to work. I think the Mini-PCIe slot for the Wifi is just locked to two modes - on and off - since I remember reading something about having to use the function key to toggle the Bluetooth on, which never happened.

Another thing I never wrote about was the Mini-PCIe to USB 3.0 converter that I wanted to use to hide the Logitech USB dongle and free up one of the USB ports. After getting it, I was unable to get it to work at all, and since I was at my best friend's house, I didn't feel like doing any extensive testing (along with the fact that I was already tired from the testing I already did).

After getting home, I used an Intel Wifi+Bluetooth card that he gave me (it didn't work in his Lenovo, and it was too late for him to RMA it) to test out the extra Mini-PCIe slot. It didn't appear, even with taking the stock Wifi card out of it's slot; I even tried the stock Wifi card in that extra slot, which still didn't work. I'm guessing the slot is disabled by the firmware or by the controller, seeing as that it doesn't work; the only other possibility is that it's actually a mSATA port, but I did quite a bit of research to disprove that, so I highly doubt it.

While I wanted to RMA it, I had already broken off part of the adapter so that it would fit into the slot, and I don't think Amazon would like me returning it in that condition. I'm sure the card works, but I just don't have anything to test it with. For now it'll just occupy that extra Mini-PCIe slot in Triela.
