ar9721 is the next generation Atheros 802.11 USB device. Contrary to ar9170 ar9271 actually has an Atheros based MAC. ar9271 is a single stream 802.11n device intended supporting only the 2.4 GHz band. As it is single stream max supported MCS rate is MCS 7. The devices do come with 2 antennas for antenna TX/RX diversity. This series adds the initial hardware ar9271 support on ath9k. Since the device is USB based and actually does require firmware a different driver core may be used, however, we do expect the hardware access to be shared. I'll send a separate notice about the driver core, am hoping other interested developers may want to join in on helping getting that part done. Hope is to get ar9271 supported merged in the 2.6.32-rc series but since the attached changes are also required I'm sending these early in the hopes to minimize the required driver core chages required to support ar9271.
