I also have a device with an ar9271, mine is a Ubiquiti WiFiStation EXT. 
   It just needs a new ID added in the driver. I got it working with the 
help of the following post: http://www.ubnt.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22105

The only extra thing I would like is the ability to turn up the txpower 
beyond 20dBm.

To the developers on the list, how do we go about getting the extra ID 
added into the code? It's only a one line change but I don't know what 
the procedure is for having this included. Also, how long does it take 
for changes to be fed into the kernel?
