Will a PCI Express x1 WiFi card work on a motherboard that has a PCI Express x16 slot?

I believe so. I am researching that atm. I found that if you have an older sli mobo, and you use only one pcie video card, then the mobo might just turn off the 2nd pcie slot. But say you have onboard video and you need to use the 1 pcie slot for like a controller card, or NIC. I have a server with a pcie x16 slot. I am about to put a x1 sata controller in there. So wish me luck!
