pci adapter. The only problem I have now is that it is very hard to get devices that support Linux from retail stores.
Help yourself with these two references to search: http://wireless.kernel.org https://wikidevi.com
Another reference: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/catalog/wireless-networking-gnulinux
It seems Atheros is popular,

Thanks poma, I looked at those pages but none of the devices that I can see listed there are ac devices they all appear to be only up to n. I'm trying to get ac support in Linux.
Data(model&chipset) for these two devices are matched:
http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/ath10k/#Supported_Dev... ath10k supports Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx hw2.0 based devices, ... - QCA9882 Version 2 found in Compex acWave: WLE600V5-23 - QCA9880 Version 2 found in Compex acWave: WLE900V5-23

Undoubtedly try to contact devs to confirm you these devices are truly supported.
Good Luck!
