We checked this with the supplier and found out that it is 958867 without vPro.
Yes, the Intel Wireless-AC 9560 (M.2 (PCIe)) should be compatible with your HP Z230 Workstation with Intel C226 chipset.
This model is not compatible with the specified Asus notebook. The original card has the following model designation: AzureWave AW-NB126H.
Currently, the following model is identical to the specifications:
Intel 7260.HMWWB.R (HMC)
According to our information, this is not part of the scope of delivery.

Here is an antenna compatible with this module: Delock Dual WLAN Antenna (WiFi Antenna)
Helpful answer
Hello Mc.bob. I would certainly mount antennas as well, greater range = faster WiFi. TX/RX refer to the antenna connections, if I'm not mistaken. There are 2 connections. One for 2.4Ghz and the other 5Ghz.
Your old card and the new one have the same standard 802.11ac. You're saying your old card is too slow. 433 Mbps is actually fine for normal use. Is the reception bad? Or do you have old devices on the WiFi network? Then of course the new card wouldn't do much good. If it's just the reception, does the old one already have antennas? Otherwise, you can just connect one of those and see if it gets better. And again as a hint: slow WiFi devices slow down all others in the same network.

According to Intel :
The only retail wireless adapters currently supported by Intel are the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 + Bluetooth® for Desktop, and the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 Desktop Kit. These retail products are intended to be installed on Desktop PC with the antennas bundled in the box. If you purchase an Intel® Wireless-AC 9560, we cannot assure full compatibility. In this case, you need to talk either to the manufacturer of the adapter, or the manufacturer of the board to assure full compatibility.
The MSI mainboard certainly has a WLAN card/function itself. You would have to make sure that the two function cards do not get in each other's way. You probably have to activate the additional WLAN card in the M2 slot in the bios.
Is the question still relevant?

According to the manufacturer, yes, the m.2 sockets on your motherboard can accommodate this expansion card.
I don't have this motherboard, the interface is suitable. However, I would currently prefer a more modern card with Wifi6, such as WIfi 6 AX200. Attention: you will probably have to buy antennas if you don't already have them (regardless of the type of card).

Yes, the adapter comes with Bluetooth 5

This computer already seems to have a good wifi/bluetooth cater (802.11ac 1*1 + BT5.0). It is not easy to change it and this can cause compatibility problems when updating the bios for example. A laptop is designed to work optimally with the embedded hardware, it is not a desktop PC on which you can change almost anything you want! Unless you are a more than advanced user, both hardware and software wise, I wouldn't advise you to change it! I'm not sure if it's a 4 core CPU or not, but I'd be looking at a 7nm CPU with 6 or 8 cores, if it's available from AMD. The 512Gb ssd is also a bit limited, 1TB is a big minimum for the way I use it. The Dell's XPS are very good machines. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
This card has an M.2 connection. It works perfectly with the driver supplied. This card also has very good large cooling fins, which of course also requires corresponding space. I installed this card in a Dell Vostro 3470 desktop. I am very satisfied. This card also has a large range and is also super fast and can only recommend this product.

" In conjunction with Intel Core processors ..." exclusively for use with Intel processors or also possible with AMD ?
not without workaraand because of the format
The "Main" connection is for Wifi 2.4 GHz + Bluetooth, the "Aux" connection is for Wifi 5 GHz. According to Intel, it is recommended to connect two antennas to guarantee smooth operation. If only one antenna is used, the signal quality could be lower.
This is more for a notebook. What you need is something like this ASUS PCE-AC56 (PCI-E x1, 866Mbit/s, 3200Mbit/s).
Siehe hier eine Auswahl: https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/producttype/netzwerkadapter-71?tagIds=76-525&pdo=1038-7999%3A6376%7C1038-3373%3A762
Are there any known problems with this combination? Either ask the mainboard manufacturer directly about compatibility or simply try it out. Normally, the manufacturer of a WiFi/BT module does not matter on which mainboard it is used.
Unfortunately, the statement "...you don't need an additional antenna" is very unfortunate because it is wrong and comes from digitec Staff. These M.2 network adapters do need two antennas! They do not have onboard chip antennas, which would also make little sense.
For processors with CNVi support, the 9560 is currently the most powerful network adapter from Intel. Compared to the 9560.NGWG.NV (No vPro), the 9560.NGWG still has Intel vPro management functions for the business sector. Both offer Bluetooth 5, which can be deactivated in the driver settings.
According to my information, Intel wireless adapters are not compatible with Hackintosh. I recommend a wireless adapter with Broadcom chipset.

No. According to my information, the Intel 7260.HMWWB.R (HMC, 866Mbit/s, 300Mbit/s) is already the fastest WLAN card available for your notebook or this interface.

No, I was only supplied with the module in a plastic bag (Mini Grip).
No screws were included with the Samsung SSD 970 EVO either.
But a small bag with two screws was delivered with the mainboard.
No.So if it's about this laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZOy2oWK3cQ
