ath9k - Atheros unveils free Linux driver for its 802.11n devices
We are pleased to announce Atheros has released ath9k to the
community. This driver is aimed at inclusion to the Linux kernel and
supports all Atheros IEEE 802.11n devices. This represents a major
shift in terms of support from Atheros with respect to Linux. The
ath9k driver comes shortly after Atheros hired two key Linux wireless
developers -- Luis Rodriguez and Jouni Malinen.
We have been informed Atheros does plan to add access point support to
ath9k and to work with the community to enhance and complete access
point support in the Linux kernel. It is understood there is plenty of
work required on the wireless stack to complete full access point
support. Jouni Malinen will help drive this process within the
community while Luis helps enhance regulatory compliance in the Linux
kernel.
We are eager to work with Atheros with ath9k and applaud their efforts
for properly supporting Linux.
The ath9k driver includes supports for the following chipsets:
* AR5418+AR5133
* AR5416+AR5133
* AR5416+AR2133
* AR9160
* AR9280
* AR9281
