The difference are (from mikrotik help): Replacing 'wireless' package Some MikroTik Wi-Fi 5 APs, which ship with their interfaces managed by the 'wireless' menu, can install the additional 'wifi-qcom-ac' package to make their interfaces compatible with the 'wifi' menu instead. To do this, it is necessary to uninstall the 'wireless' package, then install 'wifi-qcom-ac'. Compatibility The wifi-qcom-ac package includes alternative drivers for IPQ4018/4019 and QCA9984 radios that make them compatible with the WiFi configuration menu. For possible, wifi-qcom-ac/wifi-qcom/wireless, package combinations, please see the package types section here. As a rule of thumb, the package is compatible with 802.11ac products, which have an ARM CPU. It is NOT compatible with any of our 802.11ac products which have a MIPS CPU. help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/WiFi
No, wifi-qcom-ac is for chip ac ARM WiFi 5 like hAP ac2, hAP ac3, cAP ac, etc. With wifi-qcom-ac you can use the wifi menu instead wireless, and get the benefits of new features developed from the ax product, for example WPA3 auth!
