        The good thing about the GPL. At least someone with sufficient skill can come along and fix what they break - assuming people of sufficient skill are interested in doing so!

            Firmware is a binary blob.

              Still have no clue why for many buying Intel network hardware (wifi+eth) equals to buying quality. Regardless what you buy, there's always something broken.
              At least it's not that expensive.

                Probably because it is normally much better than the available alternatives.

                  do you have a link or something for alternatives to AP mode?

                  is the driver opensource?
