patches are welcome > Out of curiosity, does anyone know how much RAM is on those adapters? http://wikidevi.com/wiki/AR9271 http://wikidevi.com/wiki/AR7010 -- Regards, Oleksij _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
