Thanks poma, I looked at those pages and they highlight a major problem. 
Looking at the list of Adapters on those pages they are either USB which 
I am having issues with, some of which are using the rtl8812AU chipset, 
pci devices which are using the rtl8812AU chipset (which is the chipset 
for which the driver won't make the kernel) or a BCM chipset which is 
listed on the driver pages as not being supported by the BCM driver, and 
there is one pci adapter using a BCM chipset that is not listed at all 
as far as I can see. So its looking like 802.11ac is still not properly 
supported yet in Linux, which is a bit disappointing considering it has 
been available since 2013 (assuming the Wikipedia page I looked at has 
not misprinted the date of release, which could be on the cards as the 
page says 802.11ad was released in 2012).
