It would help if we get anything usable, even if it was limited to 802.11g or 802.11n. Does that make things simpler? Or are AC-PHYs simply that different from previous ones? Note that Broadcom's wl driver isn't that good either. I cannot get a stable connection to my access point at 802.11n. I see dramatic increases in ping time here and there. I had to downgrade my AP to 802.11g. I never tested 802.11ac performance.
