Re: [linux] Motherboard Layout Poblem
This is my experience, may it works for someone.I had old access point so have reloaded with Openwrt firmware then set it as client of my modem then connected with lan interface to the pc . the result was amazing I got 250 mb/s speed!!!. I have to mention that the old access point has 3 822.11an radio. if you dont have one you can find a chip one on kijiji.

Hi I have a new WiFi dongle on my ancient Lenovo laptop. Pretty sure it's on a USB 2.x port, not 3.0. Works fine.

Yes the slot is free and I found an extender with a right angle that should fit under the graphics card. It was $20 but that's 1/3 the price of an adapter.

If you just want WiFi access another approach is to take an old router and reconfigure it as an access point.

Re: [linux] Motherboard Layout Poblem
A bus extender may work, however they can cost money. In addition, if the graphics card in the PCIE16 slot covers the PCIE1 slot, it is also possible that when the PCIE16 slot is in use for a graphics card, the PCIE1 slot next to it is not usable. I know that is true of my recent motherboard. You should check your manual and see.
