We dont need x86 based AP linux supports almost all major cpu types.
The most widdely used ones even support linux officialy and since nothing
more than wlan card is on the board all we need is to get info from cpu
manufacturer to hack ap.
they are all done by the same referense shematic, but how to trick some cpu
makers to give that info?

Maibe someone have friend working somewhere who can leak it? like Nvidia
beta drivers leaks after 2 days when are released.
