that's not a standard PCIe expansion card...looks almost like a b key m.2 slot but it isn't either...probably a proprietary slot in the laptop mainboard

Good to know I wrecked a laptop for a proprietary card ._.

Chuck that card in the bin. It's an old ass 802.11g card. Get a new PCIe X1 card instead from TP-Link or something. Should be pretty cheap.
