PCIe WiFi and USB BT is common... Intel WiFi (like the AX200/210) is awesome. There are also tiny LGA variants, but I'm not sure if they're available.

For SDIO, you'd want to look at the modern MediaTek chipsets these days. As long as you're running a modern kernel (which I know you are), mt76 is pretty nice.

Ampak/Broadcom hurts a lot to use, but generally works (after you found an arcane firmware blob on some FTP site from South America)

Stay far, far, far away from Realtek.

@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

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

@mntmn I think imx only provides mac phy but radio on the soc is marvell

@ruff ah hmmm

@mntmn strange, but nxp produces these marvell chips
