WLAN module upgrade

[ecavicc]

The wireless module I currently have installed (Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 4.0 HMC combo adapter) has very poor support in Linux (Arch based distros, particularly) and has always been kind of a pain in windows too. If I wanted to upgrade to something more reliable, what could I choose? I found the list below in the maintenance and service guide under the WLAN module upgrade guide, and besides the dual-band cards, would the other cards be compatible? Is there any whitelisting? I wouldn't mind not having bluetooth, never used it. There's also another list at the beginning of the guide, pages 3 and 4, with other cards but no spare part number.

Also, do parts marked as for Windows 10 perform worse on Linux?
