mine is using a realtek

running an asrock qc5000/wifi board.  while it uses about 4x as much wattage as my old soho router, the performance is badass.  the only thing that sucks is the wifi port is essentially useless and 1xnic.  had to get a pci-e nic to get it working the way i wanted it to.  but this may work out the way i want to since i am currently switching everything to fiber.  now if i can figure out how to get a mellanox connectx2 working on opnsense...

the pfsense guys on their forums were irritating to say the least stating i needed a $1k setup (1u rackmount system).  these itx boards are awesome for this sort of stuff imo. 

get a dedicated AP like a ubiquiti.  you wont regret it.  i tried doing the same as well, and i know it can be done to use a wifi card, its just not worth it.
