I'm sorry but this card is the worst POS I have ever used.
Both on Linux and Windows 7 (using the latest drivers) I get a spinning circle when it is trying to load web pages.
This card is awful.
I will not be buying Intel ever again. Your NUC was awful as well, just too loud. I bought a Gigabyte Brix and it was silent.
Sort yourselves out.
