Hello,
I have the Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160 in my Toshiba laptop:

In FreeBSD 11.0, there is new "iwm" driver for this Intel WiFi adapters, but in my case, max is 54Mbps mode 11g - real speed is 20Mbps nearby WiFi router and 10Mbps in another room. Terrible.
It's M.2 2230 (30mm) interface, also called NGFF.
So - is there better WiFi adapter for FreeBSD on the market than these "iwm" adapters? Maybe Atheros? Please recommend.
What about this Atheros (NFA222 / QCNFA222 / AR9462) - some experiences?
