I just found a driver for "Dongle BUS interface for USB, SDIO, SPI, etc." which seams to also support the BCM43231 licensed under a permissive license in the GPL source tar of the ASUS RT-AC66U. [0] I haven't found the firmware for that specific device, but someone could try to get that driver running with a normal Linux kernel. I am also interested in that as I have a USB device in my router not supported by brcmfmac. Currently I do not have time for that, but I will probably have a closer look into that driver soon.
