Hi Forest,
did you try in your system the simple hack Raj had suggested?
it seems to solve ths issue, but we encountered some soft lock ups due
to the LED stuff is moved to mac80211 with the recent code base,
we will take a look at this to fix this, probably requires some backporting.
in order to recreate the issue, we installed Ubuntu 8.04- the Hardy
Heron - released in April 2008.
as expected the issue is perfectly reproducible. thanks to Raj for his
help and suggestions.
*please obtain the stable compat-wireless-2.6.36-4
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download/stable/#compat-wireless_2.6.36_stable_releases
*download the old firmware
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=blob_plain;f=ar9271.fw;hb=HEAD
(history http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=history;f=ar9271.fw;h=d0ee74a1c8dccb7cc21f5be90f1d4048fa9dbf9e;hb=HEAD)
with this your USB card will be up and running, we did some basic testing.
*I used usbmodeswitch-0.9.4
we also recommend you upgrade to latest kernel available for your distribution,
because we may still face some other issues as ath9k_htc very much new
compared to ath9k
