Re: supported mini pcie wireless cards

2016-10-02 Thread blubee blubeeme
Hi Adrian

One more question about Atheros chips.

Is this M.2 Atheros chip supported?

Qualcomm® Atheros Killer™ Wireless-AC 1535 Dual Band 2x2 AC +BT M.2 2230

I have a mac but it's such a pain for so many things, I want to get a
barebones notebook and just add supported parts.
