I'm no authority but my understanding of the situation is similar: The
latest / fastest WiFi standard supported by free drivers is 802.11n.
With no change on the horizon...
However, I've seen 802.11n ath9k cards that claim to go up to 300Mbps.
Think Penguin sells some PCIe and MPCIe cards like that.
And apparently 802.11n can go to 600Mbps, although a quick search
doesn't tell me if any implementations exist that are supported by free
drivers.
