For example the Fritz!WLAN USB Stick N. Even though this stick has the same name, it's quite different, they now stick AR7010+AR9280 chips into the device and ath9k_htc is the driver. -- 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
