Well it would have to be fixed by chip creators like Atheros, Broadcom, Qualcomm and Mediatek. For turris there should be new firmware.bin released by Atheros but most of devices will be unable to fix this as in many cases firmware for wifi cards is burn in not easily programmable memory or inside chip.

This is pretty huge. Where is our security patch?

What I found on OpenWRT forum or LEDE there is no workaround nor solution. (except turning WiFi off)
Unfortunately we need to wait. It seems that nobody from OpenWRT/LEDE were contacted to get it fixed before it was published.
For example Mikrotik fixed it two weeks ago.

So are there any other wifi cards with patched firmware which do have openwrt/lede/Linux support we could buy?

Which mikrotik cards are safe?

We are investigating that and working on that.

Thanks for the update. Should we check here for updates on the release or is there a better location?

FYI/OT
Apple confirms the patch is already present in latest iOS, macOS and tvOS betas.
