Which type of WiFi/BT module is supported on your motherboard?
In general, there are 2 types of WiFi/BT modules that can be used via a Key E M.2 socket.
One type uses a regular PCIe connection (for WiFi) and USB connection (for Bluetooth) via the M.2 socket.
The other type uses CNVi, which is available on specific Intel platforms only: https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/support/articles/000026155/wireless.html
