    I have another suggestion..  Why not a ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter (PCE-AC68) and put it in the last PCE slot?

    Thanks, I was thinking about getting the EVGA Micro, and was pounding my head on the desk looking for an M.2 Wifi card so I checked the forums and found this post. With the announcement of the Micro 2 though, I guess I'll wait a bit.

    I have the X99 Micro and the ASUS PCE-AC68 and they work fine, EVGA messed up by having an M.2 slot that only supports wifi/blutooth and nowhere on the i/o shield to mount an antenna.
    Unless you plan on either not having an antenna or keeping it inside of your case, the only other option would be to mod your case to have an exterior antenna.

    That was the main reason I switched to the Asus AC68.  I am so happy I did b/c this card is so much faster then the M.2 card.  I do not mind giving up Bluetooth for it either.
