## Misc Notes
While it has 16GB of eMMC (unlike the 8GB advertised on Protectlis product page),
I dont trust the eMMC enough to run the system from it.

## Notes on Wireless (copied from fuukos previous README)
TL;DR: Never try to build an AP yourself, just get a dedicated AP and use OpenWrt.
* Wireless cards are M.2 A+E key and dont fit in an M.2 E key slot,
because apparently using USB for Bluetooth is a good idea.
* Intel Wireless cards only support AP mode on 2.4GHz [because of broken LAR](https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206469).
* Almost all wireless cards only support one band at the same time (no dual-band AP).
* Realtek Wireless cards dont work at all (no wonder).
* Hostapds configuration file is … interesting.
* Regulatory stuff is fun.
