The main exceptions are the 9280 and 9285. The ath9k driver for linux supports them and anyone can add support using that. 11n parts only support legacy operation though w/ ~10 line change to the driver you can get 11n RX + legacy TX. RELENG_7 has a much older hal and lacks support for many cards. I recommend using HEAD if wireless support is important to you. No ETA on an update by me--others are welcome to supply the changes. All ath cards support all features you listed (except for the 5210 which you're unlikely to care about). Sam
