The firmware is open nowadays for AR9271 https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/ But this is an interesting issue. I am currently working on one problem that target becomes unresponsive(as described here https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware/issues/25) but i doubt it's the same issue as yours. Let me see if i can reproduce your problem. Will come back to you shortly. 2013/5/15 Ignacy Gawedzki <i@xxxxxx>: > Hi everyone, > > This is an old issue, about which it seems the first posts date back to 2009. > With the latest possible version of the firmware for AR9271 and the latest > possible wireless drivers, the issue is still there.
