[ath9k-devel] ath9k in kernel 3.3.2

[Sam Handel <schmandel@gmail.com>]

A user question if you please. I am using kernel 3.2.13 after backing 
out 3.3.1 for ath9k hangs and degradation. ath9k is key to my 
environment, I am using it with hostapd.

I would like to try 3.3.2, do you folks recommend it? I plan on doing 
this as soon as I send this email anyway, I can let you know how it goes 
if you like. I am using it with the DLink DWA-552 and DWA-556.

Also, if I'm asking in the wrong place let me know, I certainly don't 
seek to interrupt the primary purpose of this list. Thanks to everyone 
for the great work.
