OK! I bought one and with compat-wireless-2009-07-20 + hostapd 0.6.9 it
seems to work. I haven't done much testing yet, but I can certainly
connect to it from an eee pc 901 and from a Macbook Air (and from my IBM
X30 so long as I don't use WPA).
For reference: The box says "abit airpace wifi", "pci-e wi-fi card",
"WLP01WCG121095 V0.0B" (on a sticker; this is the only place on the
outside of the box that mentions WPL01), "EAN 4 710933 354359", "UPC 8
43323 00028 5"
lspci -nn says
04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x
802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)
Does that want to go on the wiki? (I can't access it right now:

Failed )
