Thanks for your help! My motherboard has integrated VIA GPU and possibility to add external GPU. I can set in BIOS "Primary Display Adapter" to "PCI" or "PCI-E". However, that was not the source of my problems. After digging more in BIOS settings I've finally noticed: Advanced â Onboard Device COnfiguration â Ex/SATA-PCI-E*1 Option with two values to choose: 1) Ex-SATA 2) PCI-E*1 So... My PCI Express x1 slot was working in some Ex-SATA mode! After switching that, my WiFi card is detected fine finally! :) Thanks everybody for help and sorry for bothering you with problems that came from my incorrect BIOS configuration...
