PCI-e, obviously, made in China, Fenvi brand seemingly endorsed by

working but would get slow after a period of time, needing to shut
down the system and turn back on to make it fast again.  The odd
antenna that magnetized to the top of the case (where would Larry put
it, if he bought this motherboard, not that he would of course, the
weirdo) is now removed, and I wiped dust off of the case and a bit
inside, while working.  Pretty happy.

Follow-up, to that, if I'd given Amazon a chance I wouldn't have bought this thing, they have a Gigabyte AORUS PCI-e that would really match my motherboard in a unique way, as it is a Gigabyte AORUS model itself, and the chipset for WiFi it contains is like this card by Intel.  Then again, the computer's under four years old, and I'm already replacing said Intel WiFi, so should I ASSume there's anything wrong with the Newegg-offered unit?  Linux is supporting it, that tells me it's safe, I say let's see if it's good enough.
