What technology do you mean? The specifications of PinePhone Beta Edition Convergence (the phone available for purchase now) mentions "Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n", and a quick internet search suggests that the card for the ath9k-htc firmware also supports 802.11 b/g/n.

Old as in introduced in kernel 2.6.35 and the chipsets no longer being listed as a product by Qualcomm who bought Atheros a while back.
