Also for those playing at home. No, CNVi is not a problem (usually) If you're on an 8th gen (2017 vintage) or newer Intel chip? It just works (TM) If you're on AMD or ARM or something? Yeah then it won't work. It's an Intel chip communicating over an Intel protocol to an Intel CPU only Why? Because Intel are a bunch of dipshits like that and thought "Centrino" needed to rise like an annoying phoenix Do yourself a favor and just buy a Qualcomm or a Mediatek chip instead (not Realtek though)
