at the end of my talk someone asked me what routers I would recomend
to try this stuff on here, and I sort of dodged the question.

If you can come up with a list of routers available here (meet me
later?), I can tell you what I know about each chipset. (I have
evaluated dozens of these over the last year...)

In general ath9k based gear is currently best (entirely open wifi
driver), with nearly every manufacturer shipping stuff based on that.
I see there is a lot of ubnt here, and most of their older products
are well supported by openwrt.

There is some good work beginning on the latest round of chipsets, but
by and large the firmware for 802.11ac is closed....

And so on. I should also point out that there are plenty of other OSes
available, and that I'm opposed to a monoculture of any
hardware/software combination.
