[ath9k-devel] Fw: AR5008 (5416) driver for 3Com PCI 3CRPCIG75-LAT

[Sebastian Henrich <shss@gmx.de>]

Hello,

at the moment you have 2 opportunities to get AR5008 to work. You can 
replace your kernel and use wireless-testing or you keep your kernel and 
get the trunk via svn from madwifi.org. I'm using madwifi at the moment 
because I don't want to change my distributions kernel. Since ath9k is 
not in wireless-compat I'm unable to compile ath9k with my current kernel.

Regards

  Sebastian
