Hi, I've a device with PowerLine. It's the devolo dLAN pro 500 wireless plus.
It has an ath9k compatible WiFi (2.4GHz + 5GHz), and a free software bootloader, which is an old vendor fork of u-boot. The PowerLine part doesn't work out of the box and require a nonfree, non-redistributable firmware to work, however there is some documentation on it on the wiki[1]. A really good way to fix that, and integrate everything would be to have people working on free software replacements for such nonfree firmwares, however I've no idea if anyone has started working on that yet. There is also a tag called 'plc' (Power line communication[3]) on the wiki for device with PowerLine.

Denis.
