[ath9k-devel] Connecting AR9390 to Lantiq board

[Daniel Golle <dgolle@allnet.de>]

Hi Ana,

OpenWrt doesn't use the mac80211 driver release built-into the kernel. So all
you need to do is to make sure the mac80211 package containing the ath9k driver
is a recent enough version, and that which still work well even on Linux 2.6.32.

Good luck!


Daniel
