Hi Luis, I did what you suggested. I downloaded the latest compat-wireless-2.6. I copied the ath9k subdirectory into compat-wireless-2.6.old directory. I deleted that subdirectory prior to doing this. The compilation went without a hitch. So, looks like the compilation is not a problem. I installed the drivers and activated my card. Next, I will test to see how long the connection lasts. One last questions though. I downloaded the latest compat-wireless-2.6 yesterday (EDT). Is it fair to say that the patch did not make it into that varsion? Do I need to pull in the git version to have a stable connection? (My guess is yes?)
