Here is the interesting bit, when I first hooked this card I booted my= machine in Ubuntu I saw the same 168c:ABCD. After using it under Window= s, I booted in to Linux today and found that it is reporting the expecte= d IDs. Now ath9k works right out of the box, no Vendor ID hacking requir= ed. I am using it as station right now. The other card is in a different= machine. I will try to swap the cards to verify my theory. I am thinkin= g the Windows driver applied a firmware update to the card. Or, the othe= r card skipped quality checks and has bogus EEPROM data. Any thoughts?
