[ath9k-devel] ALFA AWUS036NHA cant connect to Open/ not encrypted network (AR9271)

[Tommy]

Hi,
I got seven ALFA AWUS036NHA card, six on green pcb (2.0) and one on blue 
(1.0).
1.0 version work like a harm but it`s less powerfull, in fact it works 
exactly like WN722N.
2.0 version, works better, more network, better signal. But I cant 
connect to any not encrypted network!

If I do:
iwconfig wlan0 essid MyNetwork
ifconfig wlan0 up

LED blinks and card is still down.

If I`using wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="MyNetowrk"
key_mgmt=NONE
}

I`m getting time-out.

I tryed BT5, Ubunut, and Gentoo on latest kernels with no luck.

On same machine with same AP, WN722N works without any problems, same as 
ALFA AWUS036NHA v1.0 on blue PCB.

With Windows all cards works fine, on Windows stock AR9271 drivers.
All card have manufacture date in 2011, all got alfa holo-sticker.
First four I got directly from taiwan, next two from local polish 
distributor, and last one from german distributor.
