Intel Wireless 3168NGW Stone Peak passthrough on an ASRock Threadripper X399 platform, won't enable

Hello folks,

Attempting to passthrough a wireless card to a VM under esxi 6.7.  The device appears available for passthrough. If I check it, it says enabled/needs reboot, but then is not enabled (reverts to baseline) if I actually do reboot.  Data below.  (As an aside, the aquantia 10GBe appears STUCK on enabled/needs reboot, and multiple other passthrough devices work fine.) FWIW, I'm actually interested in using the Bluetooth to connect keyboard/mouse to the VM (I only have 3 USB hubs but need a forth, and no spare PCIE slots.)

System is an ASROCK Professional X399 with a Threadripper 1950x.

I know this is old but I have the exact same problem with the exact same hardware.  I assume we need some sort of VIB maybe?? I dunno but any input or suggestions would be great.  I actually can get the bluetooth to work on windows 2019 but I would love to get the wifi working and set up some sort of virtual wireless network.  I am running 6.7 u2.
