I'm trying to get Astlinux ready for the 0.7 release, but we've been hamstrung in testing because of issues with the ath5k drivers on our test platform... so I've been considering getting different hardware for testing. We've not been able to shake-down our transition from wireless-tools to iw, or from hostapd 0.6.8 to 0.6.9. I'm guessing that the ath9k tends to be further along in functionality, and more stable, than the ath5k? If that's the case, one of our partners that gives discounted pricing on F/OSS development hardware has the following NICs: Ubiquiti SR71-A = Atheros AR9160 with DFS SUPPORT Ubiquiti SR71-12 = Atheros AR9220 with DFS SUPPORT Ubiquiti SR71-15 = Atheros AR9220 with DFS SUPPORT I'm looking for b/g or n hardware, and the more power, the better. The 'A' doesn't seem to work with x86 based systems, as far as I can tell. The '12' is b/g/n, 27dBm and uses MMCX connectors, and is type III-A format. The '15' is a/n only, also 27dBm and uses MMCX connectors... also type III-A format. I'm leaning towards a '12', but they're not cheap. According to: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k and: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/products/external none of the above cards are supported... but that assumes that the Wiki is up to date. Also the AR9220 isn't shown on the list of supported chipsets. Can anyone confirm or deny that it's unsupported?
