[ath9k-devel] ath9k device list on the wiki

Hi folks.  FYI, the device list on the wiki looks to be messed up now:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/devices (it contains
only one device)

I don't see any evidence that any information was lost.

It's the second version of the page, and the first version also had one
device.  The source only has data for one card.

I have several different devices supported by ath9k, but most are
no-name devices that I bought on eBay from China.  The only device with
a retail label is D-Link DWA-645.  I know that other D-Link devices are
supported by ath9k, but nobody has entered them so far.

I'm looking for a Dlink or similar off-the-shelf card that ath9k will
drive.  DWA-645 and now DWA-552 are listed, but I suspect that there
are more cards available to buy and the previous version of the ath9k
wiki page listed them in detail.  Now that the device list is moved,
that information is gone.

I just added the Compex WLM200NX (MiniPCI, 2x2 with two antenna
connectors, which works fine with the existing internal antennas in my
Thinkpad T41).

Works fine on 5GHz (2.4 not tested, but scanning works).

I used wireless-testing, because 2.4.31 was still flaky - 116Kbit/s is a
*bit* slow.

I still get delays of about 13 seconds every couple of minutes, but
between those, I can get 93MBit/s TCP using iperf (which seems to be
limited by the access point).

Seems some minor tweaking is required on the driver, but this looks good
so far!

I see what you mean.  Indeed, there was a list on
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k but it was removed in
revision 116.
