HP 260 G1 DM mini PCIe

zkralj · ‎09-25-2023

Hi All,

I'm trying to add mini PCIe LAN adapter to my 260 G1 DM but it's not recognized in BIOS or anywhere else.

Is it possible to enable the mini PCIe slot to accept such card at all or is it strictly just for WIFI card use?

Thank you All for your help!

Can you provide an image or brand/part number for the mini PCIe LAN adapter?

Hi,

it's a chinese brand 10Gtek, card bought from eBay. It's an Intel i210 chipset card.

Thanks for your reply!

I suggest that you use a USB to LAN adapter.

I own one made by HP.

I would, but this is for a pfSense firewall, it does not work good with USB LAN.

Btw, I checked the card in to a HP T610 thin client and it's working fine.

Maybe there's some jumper on the G1 that enables something, just guessing...

Thanks!

"Maybe there's some jumper on the G1 that enables something,"

Your 260 G1 mini desktop PC is pretty basic, so I doubt that.

Good luck!
