My $2 USB wifi adapter arrived a few days ago. At first I was very disappointed as the speed was excruciatingly slow.
I learned that this was due to poor hardware crypto performance. A simple swenc=1 option in module load up fixed it.
While I believe it is possible to compile a driver for the QCA6174 wireless module, I think this is likely to be more hassle than it is worth and so I ordered an Intel 7265n wifi card until the Qualcomm card gets mainline support.
