PCIe mini card drive in place of wifi?

My WiFi card is dying on my dell inspiron laptop. It's a mini PCIe
internal card. I see PCIe solid state drives in the same format, and I
assume (?) that the slot is kind of like a slot in a desktop, a
generic slot for whatever. So could I put one of these drives in that
slot and use a USB stick for my wifi? Anybody know?

Thanks
