[ath9k-devel] PCIe card with AR9380/AR9390 chipset

[Mihai Moldovan]

Hey all,

are there any PCIe cards with the Atheros AR9380 chipset available?

So far, I was just able to find a SparkLAN card 
(http://www.sparklan.com/product.php?func=view&prod_id=181), which is 
only available as a miniPCIe card. I know there are miniPCIe to PCIe 
expansion cards, but that's the worst option I could think of, as there 
is no easy way to fit antennas to the card and get them out of the 
computer with those devices.

Same problem with AR9390 chipsets/cards. No PCIe version available out 
there. Or maybe I just can't search correctly, who knows.

Btw: does master mode work reliably with AR9380/AR9390? This is crucial 
to my use case.

Best regards,


Mihai

Yes master mode works(you have to use hostapd).
Regarding reliable working I have not  really tested it.

Hello Mohammed,

I've seen and read this even before, however have been unable to find 
any retailers with PCIe (read: not mini PCIe) cards with that chip. So 
any suggestion would be golden.

> Yes master mode works(you have to use hostapd).
Been there... :)


> Regarding reliable working I have not  really tested it.
I guess I could spam the list, if it's not working. ;P

Best regards and thanks,


Mihai
