intel wifi is pretty good
I'm renting and can't break the wall for ethernet cables so my Ryzen desktop has an Intel wifi card on a PCI-E adaptor.

Until you fall for the freetard meme where nothing works and you need specific hardware for specific setups that barely work
Brandon Gutierrez

Atheros has been top tier for a long time OP. How old are you?
Brayden Sullivan
I have this in my thinkpad and im using manjaro linux. Does that mean I'm using non free drivers? If so, whats a cheap (
Tyler Hernandez
It does work on linux though.
You just have to install the proprietary drivers.
Isaiah Nelson
iwlwifi is GPL, the firmware isn't.

Brody Cruz
Unless you want to use a fsf approved OS because Intels WiFi drivers and firmware is proprietary
David Russell
Which is a messy driver that depends on some deprecated kernel modules.
The drivers are free, the firmware isn't.

This really is a pickle. Intel Wifi adapters are still the best ones I have ever used, and still use today. I usually "build" my own, by getting just the exact model I want as mini-pcie, and then smack it in a cheap chink mini-pcie to regular pcie adapter card. Cheapest, and easiest and most solid solution.
I always have issues, either hardware or driver if I buy a dedicated pcie wifi adapter from both lesser and well known brands.
Julian Peterson
It still doesn't work, it's a mess with literally 90%+ packet loss.
James Ramirez
Bt/wifi combo cards don't without firmware you get from windows drivers.

Nolan Baker
Well it still either doesn't work or require substantially more work than it should be to make it work. Man I just want to use free software and have working WiFi
