I replaced intel wifi with Killer's, not sure if it's exactly the same model but it uses the same chip QCA6174. IMHO Atheros provides the best support under Linux.

You are thinking of the old ath9k cards. Newer ath10k cards, while still supported, do a lot of the stuff in the firmware. So they aren't that different from others.

The killer cards in question, both mine and the one in the Dell laptop, use the ath10k driver. I had some problems with other cards (e.g. QCA988X as AP) but not with this chip specifically.
