Exactly.  Mine came with Windows 10 and the Broadcom adapter, while
the "Developer Edition" comes preloaded with Ubuntu and has the AC
8260.  The Broadcom adapter has been supported since 4.4 but still
seems to have issues.  For example, I had it working at home but I was
not able to connect to a friend's AT&T U-Verse wireless gateway;
something was failing with -EBUSY.  I ordered the AC 8260 and it works
fine after the upgrade.
