Strange. haven't heared about that. But if it's neither on lspci nor on
lsusb, I'm really surprise, how the non-pc's should use this card?!

It might be a special "resevered"-minipcie-pin which must be put on
3.3V.
Or the card doesn't like the additional I2C, which is used by the
ME to connect to the Wifi card.

Can you write a mail to compex about it?
IMHO you should see the card on lspci anyhow, even if it's missing
some magic init procedures.

Best,
lynxis
