I strongly support this.

This is also my impression. Since it is important for Atheros to have bugzilla reports rather than discussion on list I will try to find time for creating more and/or new bug reports about my problems. (But the ones I have created so far did not really receive very good response.) Note that my AR9280 is not even detected correctly on PCI now so I may switch back to AR5008 for that. I really should try out FreeBSD too. //Peter -- 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
