There may be problems there; see

Later generations of wireless chips don't have hardware limiting the
frequencies they will work on, instead it's in the drivers, and the
companies (and other people) don't want them getting tweaked off
frequency to interfere with other services.
So, at least in the short term, open source support for advanced
chipsets, doesn't exist.
