Hey guys,
I'm planning on building a router (using some linux based OS like open-wrt or so) and I'm hunting for a good radio to use. I was wondering if there are any new 3x3 802.11n chipsets on the market that also work on 3 concurrent spatial streams (for theoretical 450mbps). The only card I've discovered so far is the intel 5300 but I don't think it works with hostapd on linux.
Are there any others?
EDIT: On that note, are there even any 3x3x3 routers in existence right now?

There is also the Intel 6300. Intel wifi cards have top notch linux support. Intel is on top of things and their drivers are built into the kernel.

Hmm, it's interesting that only Intel has released 3-stream chipsets so far. I've seen press releases from ralink/atheros/broadcom etc from almost two years ago but still nothing has hit the shelves.
About Intel cards, from my experience they are unable to go into master mode (therefore unable to act as access points), is this the case for Intel 6300 also?
802.11n chipsets with 3 spatial streams?
