Thanx a lot for your input, it's a known problem and we are working on it. We 'll soon start working on a 2413 card compex donated to us and hopefully come up with a patch. About chip's identity we don't identify chips by pci ids since vendors sometimes use faulty pci ids. You can see in the logs that your mac revision id is 0x7* and your radio revision id is 0x56, these values match 2413/2414 cards. We already updated ath_info tool for this, a patch series is pending for the driver (i have exams right now -again :P-, sorry for the delay). -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
