A lot of new wifi cards today are mini-pcie.
I'm shopping for a new mobo as part of a new build.
Should I get a mobo with support for mini-pcie?
Your first mistake was considering using wifi on a desktop.
No, get a pcie to mini pcie bracket if need be.

Think harder, you'll see why someone you need wireless connection on a desktop.
>but Ethernet
harder
>but PLC
HARDER
>Oh, I see, what if BOTH Ethernet and PLC are inconvenient, surely Wifi must be the best solution.

In my experience the usb adapters overheat easily and drop connections

You got a really fucking bad dongle then. USB dongle performance has been on-par with pci nics for normal usage for a long time in the vast majority of cases.
No, get M.2

In 2005 maybe. By now they usually have better driver support as more widely used.

I thought that was only for storage devices

The keying of the slot determines what busses it provides, but in all cases it provides PCIe.
