I have installed an openwrt system in my PVE system, and I want to add a mini pcie slot wireless network card so that my laptop can use the wireless network to connect to my PVE virtual machine, is there a minipcie half-height wireless network card that supports PVE?

If your PVE system supports PCIe passthrough, may you can consider use that function to pass the mini pcie into the openwrt VM.
you may reference following discuss.

Thread 'using the wifi device by passthrough ,iommu'

I want use Wireless 7260 device directly in my VM. I have opened the IOMUU,but when add the device to my VM then I lost the connecting to the PVE .
some commands as below:
Code: 
find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups/ -type l

/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/7/devices/0000:03:00.0
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/7/devices/0000:00:1d.3
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/7/devices/0000:00:1d.0
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/7/devices/0000:04:00.0
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/5/devices/0000:00:17.0
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/3/devices/0000:00:14.0
/sys/kernel/iommu_groups/1/devices/0000:00:01.0...

I haven't purchased a wireless network card yet. Do you have any recommendations?
 
Sorry, but I haven't use that function and can't give you any good recommended. did you search google to find supported list of mini pcie wifi card for OpenWrt?
