I would have expected something with Atheros, they were known to be FOSS friendly. but yeah, I didn't encounter such chip for a while now. I don't mind too much the drivers are closed sources - even though Broadcom is known to be a pain in the ass - as long as the "OS" and control software are opensource.
Okay, at the end of the day: DD-WRT does bad job even with Broadcom drivers (lack of recent device and wifi 6 support) + bugs and OpenWRT does a very good job software wise but it doesn't support Broadcom at all.
There's support coming for wifi 6 Qualcomm Atheros chips. The images are still in the snapshot/release candidate stage, so not a full release yet, but they are working.
