Intel AC 3160 wifi card. Is it any good? Will be testing in T410/T410s
A friend gave me a Intel AC 3160 wireless card. I went home and updated my router with DD-WRT firmware to prepare for testing out the 802.11 AC network. Anybody know anything about the Intel AC 3160 with regards to performance. Apparently, it comes with bluetooth which I don't need on too many of my thinkpads.

Any 1x1 card fits that category in A.D. 2015.

It has all the stability and performance issues of the 7260 card, with half the speed and half the count of working antennas.

Unapproved wifi card. Is there a modified bios for the T410s that will remove the white list on PCI-E cards?
