RE: [Madwifi-users] Atheros AR5006X

[Dave H. <dav...@un...>]

Actually, 0007, 0012 ,0013, 1014, 0015, 0016, 0017, 0018, 0019 and 001a
are already in the driver. if your card is on that list, then it may
already be compatible.

From a README with the source:
---
When in doubt check the PCI vendor id with a tool like lspci, the Atheros
vendor id is 0x168c; e.g.

   00:13.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 168c:0012 (rev 01)

but beware that come vendors use alternate vendor id's (e.g 3Com, IBM).
The file hal/ah_devid.h has a list of known PCI id's.

Cheers,
Dave.
