So I tried putting my mini PCIe adapter to PCIe x8 slot instead of PCIe x1 slot. That resulted in: [ 6.681088] ssb: PCI-ID not in fallback list [ 6.681251] ssb: CHIPID not in nrcores fallback list [ 6.681433] ssb: Core 0 found: UNKNOWN (cc 0x8FF, rev 0x7F, vendor 0xFFFF) [ 6.689462] ssb: WARNING: Invalid SPROM CRC (corrupt SPROM) [ 6.689467] ssb: Unsupported SPROM revision 255 detected.
