  • The most reliable way I know is to seek documentation for the board. It’s up there with PCI lanes in that the board designer will know what has been configured to work with that physical connector. This kind of info is definitely part of your motherboard documentation.

    I’m not familiar with dmidecode so unfortunately I cannot comment on that.

    Looks like one to me. Remember that M.2 is a form factor. You can have an M.2 slot that does not support SSD storage for example. I have one that is only intended to work with wifi adapters.

    Based on the wifi designation on the board I’ll bet it only works with wifi cards.

    M.2 is a form-factor. It talks about the shape only, it says nothing about what the device you are using can do. Many boards have restrictions on supported devices for the physical slot.
















  • In this case it was a driver holding that thread captive and making an assumption about the hardware eventually responding to a request which never completes.

    So yes indeed it was the kernel, and ideally the driver could be written better, but that’s probably easier said than done when the hardware can do weird things.

    This was a long time ago, so for all I know the issue has been long corrected.
