I built it; it booted, worked on my eDP display, and did my usual ping + 
scp test (to a local system, so that the 802.11 would be saturated).

OOTB, it controls the latency quite decently (no more than a few 
milliseconds), but the drop rate on the ICMP running at the same time is 
quite high (~25%).  Pretty uncontrolled experiment; my son is home ;-).
