Linux Intel support is the best of all vendors, as far as I can tell. They have dedicated Linux driver devs and their specs are open. The quality of their drivers reflects this. In future I'll walk wide circles around anything broadcom.

- hedora 10y agoIt looks like this may be a winner: AEX-QCA9880-NX Except maybe they explicitly removed linux support: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg110852.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg110852.html I can't find a hardware rev number on on the amazon page (was 1.0 ever sold to the public?). Also, the amazon page says it is for engineering samples only / contact vendor before ordering. Hmm.
