Your question has shifted from network cards to wireless routers; "Go by the chipset" isn't so relevant here since it's not a card that plugs into your computer. If you were interested in modding the router by installing a custom OS on it, then the chipset would be relevant. That may be why they put the sticker on it -- to appeal to the modding market, by informing them it uses chips Linux has drivers for. Most wireless routers I've dealt with use Broadcom, which has no really good drivers except the proprietary binary-only one.
I haven't dealt with TP-link products much. Bottom line you don't get more than you paid for, if they're generally as cheap as D-link then they can't be much better.

vga_setchipset
vga_setchipset(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_setchipset(3)
NAME
vga_setchipset - force chipset
SYNOPSIS
#include <vga.h>
void vga_setchipset(int chipset);
DESCRIPTION
Force detection of a chipset (when chipset detection fails). vga_setchipset(VGA) can be useful if the chipset specific stuff or the SVGA
detection stuff gives problems.
However, at first the automatic detection should work well, and if not a specific chipset can be forced from /etc/vga/libvga.config.
Because of that, void vga_setchipset(int chipset) should probably never be used by applications. If used nevertheless, it should be called
directly before vga_init(3).
As of now the following values are defined for chipset:
UNDEFINED
This is the default and specifies autodetection.
VGA A plain VGA card, not that the SVGA must behave like an ordinary SVGA card then which will probably mean it is in an ordinary
(25x80) textmode.
ET4000 Tseng ET4000/ET4000W32(i/p) cards.
CIRRUS Cirrus Logic GD542x/3x cards.
TVGA8900
Trident TVGA 8900C/9000 (and possibly also 8800CS/8900A/B) cards.
OAK Oak Technologies OTI-037/67/77/87 cards.
EGA An ordinary EGA card. The notes about VGA apply.
S3 An S3 base card.
ET3000 Tseng ET3000 cards.
MACH32 A card (from ATI or not) based on the ATI Mach32 chipset.
GVGA6400
A Genoa(?) GVGA6400 card.
ARK ARK Logic ARK1000PV/2000PV cards.
ATI An ATI SVGA (VGA Wonder and friends) card. This does not (necessarily) include the newer cards (usually called Mach something).
ALI An ALI2301 based card.
MACH64 A card using the ATI Mach64 chipset. Support is not complete.
CHIPS Chips and Technologies chipsets 65525, 65535, 65546, 65548, 65550, and 65554 (usually in laptops).
