I installed an Intel ax211 M.2 vPro card into the PCIe slot for network cards on my motherboard, but it isn’t appearing in any list. I’ve tried using the provided drivers link. Could you clarify if there are any additional steps or settings I should follow?

Is the antenna visible in the device manager? You might need to install the corresponding cables.

Consider purchasing the AX210 Wi-Fi card instead. Your motherboard may not be compatible with the AX211 chip. From the Intel forum discussion, MSI only supports AX200 and not AX201. If it did support AX201, it would likely also work with AX211. MSI PRO B660-A DDR4 Network Card Compatibility (PDF) I was surprised by how much the single digit in Intel's WiFi card naming affects compatibility. Thanks for the question. By the way, have you installed the Wi-Fi antenna after sharing this photo?

Not listed in the device manager, especially not for network adapters.

The AX211 seems to be a CNVio2 chip that needs a compatible motherboard. It's more common among OEMs such as Dell and HP. The AX210 would have been preferable since it uses traditional PCIe and USB Wi-Fi cards. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/...836,204837 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNVi
