Hiya, So the standard answer would be "Ubiquiti SR-71". But I dunno if they are still selling those. Look at UNEX. They have a couple of AR9160 NICs. One is lower poweer (u.fl) and one is high power ((MMCX.) Both are dual band and both work great. If you manage to get an 11n NIC for your soekris and you can bring up hwpmc in your nanobsd build, we can start doing some performance measurements. I'd really, really like some CPU utilisation traces on embedded hardware so we can speed things up.
