That's a nicely timed question! Today's (but not yesterday's :-)) wireless-testing does support AR5416 with the new ath9k driver. Unfortunately, ath9k is not in compat-wireless. I heard it may be hard to backport the current wireless drivers. Anyway, MadWifi trunk (not 0.9.4) supports AR5416, and it's a nicer driver than ndiswrapper IMHO. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
