The following also looks interesting with

Has anybody used them with LibreMesh?
Not me... I guess Bruno can comment on this.
Actually these are above our desired price, but Gui posted about how to
cook for C7 (ath10k) a few months ago. I copy the message below:
i don't think i can help more than what i commented in the
"802.11s config" thread :(
i'd say you could ask in LEDE mailing list, since in any case, it's an
upstream problem (i.e. last time i checked, there was no support for
80211s in how ath10k is bundled in LEDE by default)
FWIW as a reference, this is something i found today, a raw diff of
how i hacked the ath10k-firmware package in the buildroot
to pull the (very specific) kvalo firmware that allows the rawmode
needed for 11s mode
