[ath9k-devel] ath9k_htc in master mode

[Randy Williams <randyw@netho.net>]

The TP-LINK TLWN422G I recently purchased from Newegg was $11 with free 
shipping:

I've been able to get the adapter recognized under Ubuntu 10.04 with a 
very recent ath9k_htc driver (from the tarball released on 6/5), and I 
can get it to connect to my old Dlink AP in managed mode. I was hoping 
to replace the Dlink with this guy, and will be happy to be a tester for 
any code you can produce, Pat. Hope this helps.
