The cards i shared earlier are 450mbit i think. Fully libre too. I dont think you can get 1000 out of free firmware. The fastest would probably be the new broadcom AC wifi but that is a trap, the driver is libre, the firmware (which is neccesary) is not. Probably could be reverse engineered firmware-side but how hard that would be i don't know.
it's not worth the effort. it often takes years and there's no guarantee of success. it's much easier to convince qualcomm (or mediatek) to just release the source code. chris from thinkpenguin walked the atheros team (right up to director level) through the process for the AR9271, and that took *two years* from start to finish.
