We are designing a PCB board that will run OpenBSD and wish to build in wifi and 3g/UMTS/LTE devices whilst avoiding PCIEX as those are more expensive than a module.
I assume ar9280 is still the recommended wifi chipset out of all including surface mount devices? Are there any opinions on a reliable or best 3G/UMTS/LTE device. A ublox device was being specified but I am guessing that would have been more work to get going, though it does come with open source Linux drivers, I believe? I notice there is a umsm driver and the qualcomm gobi I have in my thinkpad comes up as ugen. Unfortunately my sim slot is broken so I can't test that immediately. Thankyou for any thoughts or insights. p.s. This is for our soon to be trialled products and we don't have plans certainly in the short term of releasing a board and it won't be multi ethernet port, initially atleast anyway. I wish to give back to this community any way I can in the future though :)
