They don't have multiple firmwares for their phones, at least not for the phones that have a USB port. Wifi N/AC is built on standards, so if Yealink finds one AC driver that works with their phone firmware, that's all it should take.... I think.

Agreed. Yealink will most likely do the same as they do with the bluetooth option: pick one chipset that's supported in the mainline Kernel, include the driver for that chipset into their firmware build, and then sell the "Yealink Usb Wifi adapter" through their normal sales channels as usual. They could do that today without issue, the key point is the firmware doesn't have any GUI/way to configure the wifi... so they need to wait for the R+D guys to write a new interface, do the usual QA/testing, etc
