pci adapter. The only problem I have now is that it is very hard to get
devices that support Linux from retail stores.
Help yourself with these two references to search:

Thanks poma, I looked at those pages and they highlight a major problem.
Looking at the list of Adapters on those pages they are either USB which
I am having issues with, some of which are using the rtl8812AU chipset,
pci devices which are using the rtl8812AU chipset (which is the chipset
for which the driver won't make the kernel) or a BCM chipset which is
listed on the driver pages as not being supported by the BCM driver, and
there is one pci adapter using a BCM chipset that is not listed at all
as far as I can see. So its looking like 802.11ac is still not properly
supported yet in Linux, which is a bit disappointing considering it has
been available since 2013 (assuming the Wikipedia page I looked at has
not misprinted the date of release, which could be on the cards as the
page says 802.11ad was released in 2012).

IEEE 802.11ac, perhaps on some SoCs supported via DD-WRT & OpenWrt.

Thanks poma, I had a look at those pages and they don't seem to help me 
much (unless I have read them wrong) as they seem to be specifically 
aimed at router support rather than adapter support which is my issue. 
The Belkin router I have also appears to not be supported by wrt either, 
so it looks like I might be behind the 8 ball on both fronts.
