Perhaps it needs the download to install firmware for the WiFi controller. A lot of such boards do before which the board will not respond. The NEC USB 3.0 chips might also be require at least one boot under Windows to load the firmware (which you already did).
I would still expect the device to show up in the PCI list though, even if it's not activated for wireless. Otherwise how would the firmware get loaded?
if the mini-pcie card is a usb card with a wifi adaptor on it, then it (the wifi adaptor) won't show up with lspci. try lsusb. the usb adaptor itself should show up with lspci. if that's what it is. just guessing... (btw, i haven't personally seen a wifi card like this but i've seen and used several "PCI" DVB cards which are actually USB devices soldered onto a USB interface PCI card). craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #65: system needs to be rebooted
