It's difficult to tell, needs a lot of work to be done and there are other issues we should fix first on cards we already support. Atheros said something about providing a mac80211 driver for AR5416 but we have nothing from them yet. > Also, if 11n support is a while off in ath5k, could anyone recommend another > card/driver that does support 11n. > Intel cards should work fine as far as i know (haven't tested them), there is also some work being done for Broadcom cards. -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
