No need to get a USB dongle. You can use PCI passthrough to a Linux VM that has the Wifi driver.

I'd like to know more about what it takes to turn on PCI pass through for laptop hardware. On desktops and servers it's typically the IOMMU setting in the BIOS. Is that also commonly available on laptops?

That's insanely complicated compared to plugging in a USB dongle.
