Hey,
I used the mini PCIe -> x1PCIe version with the same cable length from the
same people to test the card in the WiFi slot successfully, so I doubt that
it is a signal integrity problem.

I'll try to build against coreboot master on Monday and see what happens.

How can I get the sort of logs that would help here out of coreboot?
I'll be building with Tianocore.

Cheers,
Rafael
