please recommend your favorite linux-supported SDIO/UART WiFi/BT module now!
@mntmn why not pci-e?
@ruff i don't know of a pcie-connected BT/WiFi combo device. but maybe pcie+uart or sth could work. the motherboard is not designed for that though
@mntmn I meant mpcie of course. Ok got it, means BT should be uart or sdio bcz there's no USB bus on MB. I think ralink rt3290 which I tried first on reform was with BT-over-pci, but I didn't like it and replaced with intel. That has bt on usb but I don't use bt much on reform.
@mntmn Other than that - I have Marvell SDIO card but that has both BT and WIFI on SDIO
@ruff oh interesting. and how is the driver support/stability on marvell?

The box has both marvell and atheros, can say that atheros has better reception but marvell also ok
@mntmn I think imx only provides mac phy but radio on the soc is marvell

@ruff ah hmmm
@ruff lol so the NXP stuff is just marvell repackaged? because their driver is also called mwifiex
