[Cerowrt-devel] WNDR alternative for higher capacity

[Dave Taht]

The problem I ran into on the NUC's was that all the 802.11ac cards
are presently full-length, and the msata lines had only been run to
the full
length slot rather than the half length ones.

So I'd planned on a tiny msata card and the big fat ath10k card...

http://snapon.lab.bufferbloat.net/~d/blog/nuc.html

It seems likely that msata is configured the same way on this box.

It bothers me to have to use a msata card at all, to do what we want
only needs 16MB of flash, not 16GB of flash. The onboard bios flash
on these x86 boxes is probably getting close to 16MB already...

I don't know if the realtek ethernet chips got working BQL support yet.
