Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 (3165NGW)
Free - as-is - recycled from a Dell laptop.
Hoping it can benefit someone and to upcycle this device. It’s a standard M.2 2230 card, Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth 4.2, and should still fully supported in Linux (iwlwifi driver). Can be useful as a laptop or mini PC upgrade for someone with an older machine missing Wi-Fi for moderate speed.
