Re: [Madwifi-users] AR9220/Pci Partially Working

[Érico P. <eri...@gm...>]

Do you HAVE to use such an old kernel? I mean, this is from 2005... Wouldn't
you be better running a newer kernel with ath9k ?

Just a guess by the way, I do use a ppc, but my mini pcis are ath5k based -
aiming at under gigaHertz. But on that case, a card alone doesn't give me -
almost - any RF output, unless I put another one and force them to traffic
some data - using iperf or another software.
