@ruff i don't know of a pcie-connected BT/WiFi combo device. but maybe pcie+uart or sth could work. the motherboard is not designed for that though

@mntmn I meant mpcie of course. Ok got it, means BT should be uart or sdio bcz there's no USB bus on MB. I think ralink rt3290 which I tried first on reform was with BT-over-pci, but I didn't like it and replaced with intel. That has bt on usb but I don't use bt much on reform.

The box has both marvell and atheros, can say that atheros has better reception but marvell also ok
