Regarding the first question you could put your Abrowser profile and cache into ram. That will make things faster and no more disk crunching, probably helps with battery life as well. There are various scripts floating around to do that (the issue is preserving changes as ram is volatile).

There is some truth that we may get source code for an 802.11ac chipset. I wouldn't hold my breath that it'll happen any time soon. It took years to get the code for the last 802.11n chip and it's going to be more challenging this time around. As far as 802.11n dual-band is concerned the ma

That is all true. But you are best randomising it in software, as opposed to hardware. The default could still identify you on a network, if you are only one or two of people with such a MAC address (and if there are two of you, there is a fair chance that the network would crash, not expect
