On: Major Linux Problems on the Desktop, 2016 Edition

Does Intel make USB bluetooth sticks? If my laptop didn't come with a combo miniPCIe card I doubt the necessary antenna is there. In a desktop, I looked for mPCIe - PCIe x1 adapters with lots of antennas but I can't really find any in low profile. So... how did you do that?

For desktop, perhaps the Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I?

It's basically an Intel 7260 Wireless-AC/Bluetooth chip plus a PCIe adapter.

Intel has a desktop version and it comes with both brackets! http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/wireless-products/dua... http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wireless-AC-Desktop-Network-7260... Also, I will be adding to a somewhat old HP SFF so I am using the single PCI slot to add an additional USB header (Rosewill RC-100). PCI speed is plenty for USB 2.0.

Thanks! However, http://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx18X5FNV15HHU8/ref=ask_dp_dpm... it looks like this does not come with a low profile bracket. And, are two antennas ... enough? Just my 6300 in my laptop have three.
