Our athn(4) driver is incomplete and only provides basic performance. This driver still needs a lot of work to get it operating at full capacity offered by ath9k devices. However, it runs without firmware and support is expected to slowly improve over time. My own AP uses this device. For now, a device supported by bwfm(4) is an option where 11ac performance is required, such as https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Broadcom_BCM94350ZAE These devices run closed-source firmware which contains an entire 802.11ac stack. The OpenBSD driver can drive them in hostap mode so they will appear as a regular wifi interface. All 802.11ac capabilities are enabled but OpenBSD's ifconfig is not yet able to display or configure such capabilities. This is being worked on. This isn't a perfect solution either, but at least avoids much of the easy attack surface of a standard wifi AP plastic box. E.g. there's no Web UI that could be targeted. Firmware-level exploits are still a concern, but that is true for any 802.11ac device. At least I am not aware of any 802.11ac devices which do not require closed-source firmware. You will need an M.2-to-miniPCIe adapter board to fit a bwfm(4) card into an APU, and you will need very very tiny pigtails to plug the antennas, which are a pain to get plugged (took me an hour). But then it should work.
