AR9220 is the same as AR9280 (I don't know the details, the chip names,
the RF names, the marketing names etc, but the fact is, it's the same
thing for the end users).

However, the PCI versions of that chipset (that includes miniPCI, but
not PCI Express or PCI Express Mini Card) are affected by some bug that
will be hopefully fixed soon.  You can see the list archives for
details.

MadWifi has that bug too, and I removed 168c:0029 from the list of
supported IDs until it's resolved.  As for ath9k, it's not my call.
