Nope, they don't interest me much. Usually only whenever I buy a new and new-to-market router do I ever bother writing about it.

What a pity because recently I wanted to buy new 802.11ac compatible cards and realised all were non-working with Linux (tested 4.3 and 4.7) because of the proprietary driver.

But thanks for the answer anyway!

The other part of the answer is I haven't received any review samples of any WiFi cards in like ~8 years. So with money already being real tight, with no real interest in them, not worth buying them when I could be saving up for a new CPU or SSD or something for more interesting tests. If I got the cards free, then yes I would be reviewing them.
