    I cannot seem to find a NGFF (M.2 slot) wifi card that has U.FL antenna connectors.
    NGFF cards all seem to come with smaller MHF4 connectors.

    The trend seems to be that NGFF is replacing the Mini-PCIe cards and MHF4 connectors are replacing U.FL ones.

    Does anybody know such a card (NGFF) with UFL connectors at all? All the ones I found are with MHF4 antenna connectors.

    Why would you want one since notebooks with M.2 wireless card slots have antenna wires with MHF4 type connectors

    If you are putting an M.2 type wireless card in an adapter to go into a mini pcie wireless card slot in an older notebook....I say don't bother.

    The performance will take a big hit using a mini pcie to NGFF(M.2) adapter....I tried a Killer N1525 and Intel AC-7265 several months ago in a Sandy Bridge MSI GT780DX with MHF4 antennas from ebay
