Do you have a link to anyone selling this AP, or is it just an

I didn't have much luck finding it in google...  Is there a more specific

I can't even find marketing type pages for AR9340, search results come up
empty at www.atheros.com :P

Those are nice results!  I'll try WPEA-127N as AP and STA and see what I get.

If you have any suggestions for other commercially available NICs or APs to try,
