我在让它工作时遇到了问题...我使用的是带有 ath9k 驱动程序的 atheros 11n 卡，一切运行正常（我使用的是 Ubuntu 14.04 64 位）。也许我没有编译 hostapd 或没有使用新卡正确设置 conf 文件。那么，您能否分享您的 .config 文件以编译 hostapd（因为 Ubuntu 软件包未启用 11ac）和 conf 文件以运行 hostapd？谢谢！
顺便说一句，我认为系统已经识别该卡了。

答案1
我甚至无法让卡工作——只是硬件与我的 Q2900M 不兼容（使用了两个不同的 mPCIe 到常规 PCIe 适配器，甚至无法启动）。所以，在这方面向你表示敬意。
我认为我使用了几张基于参考板的卡。Compex WLE900VX 和 SparkLan WPEA-352ACN 看起来非常相似，甚至连铜线和表面贴装元件的位置都一样。两者都基于 QCA9880...它们可能确实有主模式可用——我不知道，因为我的主板无法启动，而我尝试过的其他机器可以启动——但我在运行 lspci 时没有看到它们。
我还有一个从苹果机场买来的外形奇怪的 Broadcom 主板。我从 ebay 上订购了它：新款 Apple BCM94360CD 802.11ac Wifi 蓝牙 4.0 卡 + Mini PCI-E 适配器 (ebay.com/itm/171521530246?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)
我收到了一个可以使用的不同适配器（ebay.com/itm/321812633609）
但一旦它开始工作，就会发现我使用的驱动程序不支持 hostapd 的 AP 模式。
换成了 TP-Link T8E，可以正常工作——但似乎还没有主模式可用来通过 hostapd 启用 AP 模式。与 TP-Link 交谈后，他们“不支持”Linux/UNIX，但只要硬件能正常工作，我不在乎他们支持什么。
我订购了几个 mPCIe 到 PCIe 适配器以及一些 802.11ac 2x2 卡。
-我还没有尝试过的适配器：
华硕 PCE-AC66
华硕 PCE-AC68
TP-Link TP-T9E
Silex SX-PCEAC
-我尝试获取但因某种原因无法获取的适配器：
Unex DAXB-81
对我最有帮助的谷歌搜索是“802.11ac 3x3 pcie”
www.google.com/search?q=802.11ac+3x3
祝我们好运……
以下是我希望从其他人那里看到的输出。有一张 802.11a/b/g/n 卡，具有我希望在 802.11ac 卡上获得的硬件属性，还有 802.11ac 3x3 MIMO TP-Link Archer T8E，以供比较。
