Hello,

I`ve recently bought WN951N card from TP-LINK that shows following output in
lspci:

05:01.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5008 Wireless
Network Adapter (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 3071
        Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr-
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx-
        Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort-
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
        Latency: 168, Cache Line Size: 32 bytes
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 17
        Region 0: Memory@febf0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [40] #80 [0000]
        Kernel driver in use: ath9k
        Kernel modules: ath9k

When i tried to set card in master mode, iwconfig gives me an error but
nothing in dmesg
iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.

I am using 2.6.32 with CONFIG_ATH9K=m ; CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUG=y. The only one
way that gives me functional AP was latest svn snapshot from madwifi trunk.
There are some issues like slow transfer speed and kernel panics from which
i have decided to return to ath9k and wait patch for my card. On mailing
lists many people says that 5008 and 5416 are equal but seems that this card
is not really works as described(at least, for ath9k). If whoever want to
spend some time for fixing this issue, i will be very appreciate and may
create root-accessible xen guest with card dedicated to them. Also i will be
very thankful for any help to setting my card in mastermode.
