Which pci-e half size Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 card should I choose that works under most current Linux distributions?

Question

linux

Recommend a laptop pci-e card half size Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 that works under most current Linux distributions without problems. Now there is a Ralink RT3290, but there are no drivers for the bluetooth part at all, and the Wi-Fi part drivers from the manufacturer (they are already inside with 3.6 kernels) fall off every hour or even cause a kernel panic. Tested on Arch, Ubuntu 12.04-13.10.

Answer 1

I ended up buying an Atheros AR5B195 at a flea market for less than $10. True, there is bluetooth version 3.0, but this is not essential for me. In Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.10 it works out of the box absolutely stable. The choice of this module was prompted by an article stating that such a module is used in a laptop approved by FOSS.

Answer 2

Intel 7260 HMWWB - cheap and cheerful
There is also a lightweight Intel 7260 HMWAN

Answer 3

I do not advise Intel, because in Debian based there are problems with Intel cards. I also want to warn you that using a combined card, you will lose the quality of Wifi signal reception
