Asus PCE-AC88 on Ubuntu 18.04

Does the card Asus PCE-AC88 work out of the box on Ubuntu 18.04 ?

There are some informations about its compatibility with Ubuntu, for example here:

Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers

or there:

https://blog.cooperteam.net/post/2017-11-10-asus-ac88-wifi-on-linux/

but I could not find anything about the status of its compatibility with Ubuntu 18.04.

I would like to know before I buy the card.

If it helps I can safely say this has been fixed with the latest 5.0 kernel. So all Ubuntu derivatives of 19.04 will work out of the box. I say this posting with Pop!_os 19.04 (and before that I installed Ubuntu 19.04 and Ubuntu Budgie 19.04 and they all work out the box). So pleased this is finally fixed.

Edit: ... and yes it's going at high speeds, can't test on a several hundred Mbps download/upload any more but my current internet is 70 down and 20 up and its maxing out flawlessly.

I just installed that card on Ubuntu 18.04 but it does not work out of the box. Found this related discussion with a documentation how to solve the problem: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2337200

Certainly not an easy solution to apply. Will try it during the next days.

UPDATE:

Got the card working with the help of this blog entry: https://blog.cooperteam.net/post/2017-11-10-asus-ac88-wifi-on-linux/ It already contains the patched driver for the card ready to download: https://blog.cooperteam.net/brcmfmac4366c-pcie.bin

I moved the file to to my drivers:

sudo mv brcmfmac4366c-pcie.bin /lib/firmware/brcm

Rebooted - works.

UPDATE:

Drivers are so slow (slower than any cheap Wifi card) that I gave up, sold the card, and switched to Powerline.

As James Reid says:

this has been fixed with the latest 5.0 kernel.

Now we have Ubuntu 18.04.3 with 5.0.0-31 kernel. Just run:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y

to get the last kernel version.
