That sounds like it should be wireless-n, supported by ath9k (or perhaps madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6, but don't expect the latter to be easy). Here's a little info: http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/Compatibility/Atheros I'd see whether `ifconfig wlan0 down;modprobe -r ath9k` and `modprobe ath9k; ifconfig wlan0 up` will get it working. If not, I'd try the CentOS 2.6.32 kernel/some RHEL6 kernel; try another distro; or wait a little bit. Be aware that ath9k is a work in progress. > > > > It seems this issue was discussed sometime before, but I do > > not seem to find it. Any help appreciated.

Most Linux filesystems don't have a 2 TB limit; the only FS I know of that has a 2 TB limit is FAT32--which is extremely slow at large sizes. Ext3 goes to 2 TB with 1kb blocks. ReiserFS, JFS, & XFS ( which is supported by SL, but not TUV) are also options. So anything should work, but I can't tell what would be best. Probably any one of the alternatives would be faster than ext3.

If that's what it should be, the kernel would just ignore "api=off".

I'd like to know if there is pdfs or something like that about this great OS
