So, you are saying that there was something wrong with the old
stick as well, right!?

Sure, you are affected by constant "loud" noise on the frequency/band.
The hardware is unable to finish the noise floor calibration and therefore
gives up.

Yes, you need crda, if you haven't installed it already.

That's odd. TP-Link does not sell any AR9170 anymore, in fact they dropped it
more than a year ago and replaced the line-up with AR7010+AR9287? so where
did you get this obsolete device?
