Search for DW1820A (should be a Broadcom device, not Qualcomm). This card is using a better version of the raspberry pi 3 wifi chip. > (Which isnt bad as a client at all in most of my use cases, i had more often > problems at times with other stacks.

Which means the problem I've seen where the firmware ends up in a broken mixed 2.4/5Ghz configuration cannot happen on the raspberry pi 3.
