Suggestions for a wireless chipset for 802.11s and/or hostap mode

Hey all,

Given either an m.2 or mPCIe interface, what would be my best option
for a wireless network adapter that, at a minimum, supports hostap
mode? Hoping for 802.11n or 802.11ac for hostap mode.

I know mesh networking isn't supported (yet) on FreeBSD. I'm hoping
that with Aymeric's work on BATMAN, wireless mesh networking may
become a very real possibility. Is there an m.2 or mPCIe card that
works today in hostap mode, but could hopefully do whatever is
necessary for wireless mesh network in the future?

Thanks,
