I put another Sparklan card in a Windows XP machine and following are the
device ids reported by the Atheros driver on Windows. It seems it is reporting
the correct 0x168c, and 0x0030.
>From Windows XP Device Manager
-------------------------------
Device Instance Id:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&SUBSYS_3116168C&REV_01\4&492937F&0&00E2
Hardware Ids:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&SUBSYS_3116168C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&SUBSYS_3116168C
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&CC_0280
Compatible Ids:
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030&REV_01
PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_0030
PCI\VEN_168C&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_168C&CC_0280
PCI\VEN_168C
PCI\CC_028000
PCI\CC_0280
Matching Device Id:
pci\ven_168c&dev_0030&subsys_3116168c
Here is the interesting bit, when I first hooked this card I booted my machine
in Ubuntu I saw the same 168c:ABCD. After using it under Windows, I booted in
to Linux today and found that it is reporting the expected IDs. Now ath9k works
right out of the box, no Vendor ID hacking required. I am using it as station
right now. The other card is in a different machine. I will try to swap the
cards to verify my theory. I am thinking the Windows driver applied a firmware
update to the card. Or, the other card skipped quality checks and has bogus
EEPROM data. Any thoughts?

because the hardware code(HAL) will be present from that kernel version only.
