Some things still relevant here:

What's your go-to source for hardware friendly to free software? If I'm not mistaken, Linux supports AC Wi-Fi by now more or less, so why not BSD? Is there less interest, or the drivers are closed? I have found some, seemingly open-source friendly AC Wi-Fi dongles as well.

These are all good points, what I would like to drive away, if you can point me to a good source on
designing a system or a solution - in general? This sounds good.

That's a bit puzzling to me. What does it mean?

I don't take my stance on this. I hope he wasn't banned because of his above, helpful post to me!
Thanks for your help, all!
