If I grab a modern pci-e card is it likely to just work?

Is there a PCI wifi card that's known to work with Libreelec?

So if I do lsusb I get this:

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2571:4101 BESCO KSL81P304
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bda:b832 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ax WLAN Adapter
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Device 3 is the dongle. The only usb device is a low power remote control radio so there's very few devices on the system. They're both currently plugged in to the front panel port but I put the Wifi dongle on the rear port with no others on the rear and still no luck. Installing on Windows I can't find the driver link as it's giving a 404, but the instructions sow device manager with Realtek 8811CU. In the mean time, I'll try an old extension lead and see if that helps

I have a Wavlink ax1800 https://www.wavlink.com/en_us/product/WL-WN691X1.html and whilst it's showing up with lsusb Kodi doesn't recognise it. Can anyone recommend a USB dongle or even a pci-e card that I could use in my micro itx motherboard that will just work without any effort on Libreelec 12.0.2 ?

I had a Raspberry a while ago running RASPBMC where I purchased keys for MPEG and VC-1 decoding.

I've just setup a sweet HTPC with the ASRock J3455B-ITX mothereboard and curious to know if keys need to be purchased for this sort of setup? I'm assuming that because it's advertised to support HEVC then is hardware decoding going to happen automatically, and then does this covere the MPEG2 and VC-1 as codecs as well, or do I still have to purchase keys and if so I've only seen them for sale on Raspberry Pi Store so are they valid for any instance of Kodi irrespective of the underlying hardware or specific to Pi?
