Hello,

Will DD-WRT support 802.11ac wireless modules on X86 boards?

i dont want to stirr up any confusion, but i talked to brainslayer several times and he confirmed that Qcalcomm Atheros QCA9880 Rev.2 minipci-e cards are supported Wink

atheros/qualcomm 802.11ac cards are supported based on ath10k. so ath10k compatible cards will work in newer builds.

I am trying to use the QCA9880 with a x86 quad core CPU. I understand I'll need the "dd-wrt_full_smp_vga.image" for multiple cpu support, and I'll need a newer build to pick up the 802.11ac ath10k support.

On the ftp site (ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/betas/2016/03-17-2016-r29264/x86_64/) I can find newer builds (betas), but I don't see any with multiple CPU support.

Is there a version of firmware that will provide ath10k support AND accommodate multiple CPU's?
