1) I have long thought about developing such course materials or
working with the author (dave lang) of the wonderful scale2012 report
to do so. If you find any good materials pre-existing please let me
know also. I once gave a good intro talk on wifi subjects... (

As for 2)

There are many vendors in the enterprise wifi space - cisco, ubnt,
aruba, and meraki, to name a few more. Of these the only ones publicly
acknowledging doing something about their wifi bufferbloat are cisco
and meraki. (I realize you have plenty of other issues/features to
look for, it's fixing that one happens to be my number #1 requirement
these days)
