    No dice. Same issue. But I think, having tried both WiGig cards, perhaps I can rule out the DW1601 card as bad? Some close up shots of the adapter's pinout. http://imgur.com/a/J4rVW

    Just tried using the card that was in the docking station in the mPCIe to PCIe adapter. I'm getting the same issue. Luckily the MSI has overpower protection built-in so I don't blow out the board, but I can't boot it up so long as either WiGig card is plugged in. The LED on the motherboard...

    I tried the same thing. Same mPCIe card and, by the looks of it the same mPCEi to PCIe adapter card. It blew out my motherboard. Tried new motherboard and a different adapter card, same result. I haven't looked at the traces on the PCB, but clearly the DW1601 has a non standard mPCIe...
