I brought the dual-band + bluetooth 4.0 M.2 card from them. The wifi was free software compatible, but the Bluetooth component required blobs to function - which had to be extracted from Windows drivers due to licensing issues. I believe this was the card: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/wireless-n-dual-band-bluetooth-40-m2-ngff-combo-card This is despite the advertisement "Not dependent on NDISWrapper, binary blobs, or proprietary drivers-firmware". So be careful and do your research. I use an external dongle for Bluetooth on that particular computer now. -Adam
