Thanks, but I've seen that page and "products with supported ath9k
cards" points to a page that lists "Laptops with ath9k cards" (I'm
looking for PCIe, not mini-PCIe) and "APs with ath9k cards", not "ath9k
cards". Before I can buy a card, I need to know what it is called in the
shops (on-line or otherwise), not what chipset it has.

I realise this is the manufacturer's fault, but this is a perennial
problem for Linux users who want to buy an new card for something: "OK,
I want something with such-and-such a chipset, but the on-line shops
just don't say what the chipset is.
