I have UniFi AP AC Lite which works in 802.11ac mode.
I've installed FreeBSD CURRENT on laptop with Intel 7260 WiFi adapter. It works with `iwm` driver and appropriate firmware, but it could associate with AP only at 1M speed:
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500

Other devices (mobile phones, two laptops with Windows 10) connect with 802.11n speeds at same physical spot.
I understand, that 7260 is only 802.11g-capable device, but 1M is way too slow even for 802.11g :)
