I remember broadcom-wl driver for BCM4360-based adapters being so abysmal it was plain easier to buy some cheap Atheros laptop card and a PCIe adapter for it than to endure constant connection hangs. At least with free WLAN drivers you could compain to the guy that maintains them.-

@yomiel @menherahair @phnt @Suiseiseki @Cyrillic @SuperDicq @lxo Not aware of any PCI blacklists on regular desktop mobos, I only seen Lenovo do this thing on some chinkpads so you have to patch the BIOS. -

Don't a lot of motherboards blacklist the older Atheros WIFI cards that support free drivers?
