Hi, If the Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 has an available (unused) USB 3.0 port, then you might consider a WiFi/Bluetooth dongle. I believe Amazon (and probably other vendors) list several such adapters - most seem to be priced under $60 and you just need to find one that supports your preferred OS. An example (but you can probably find other candidates similar to this one...) https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Adapter-600mbps-Wireless-Network/dp/B081YQFQDN/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=wireless+bluetooth+usb+adapter+linux&qid=1610858460&sr=8-8 Good luck with your hunt.
