AC 9260 in Windows 10 Device Manager but can't find connections

[DMaws]

The title pretty much says it all. I've installed an AC 9260 on a third-party PCIE-X1 card and I cannot connect to my wireless network. Device Manager says the card has been installed correctly and - in fact - Windows has installed the most up-to-date driver for it. The system gives the message "No connections available." When I switch back to my USB wi-fi dongle, the system connects to my network immediately.

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 518 and the operating system is Windows 10 with all the latest updates. The PCIE-X1 card is this one:

I'm stumped. Can anyone tell me what the issue might be?
