timestamp.

The question is, how accurated this timestamp is? The precision is in
nanoseconds, but what accuracy i can expect?

My main need is the implement a good precision TDOA algorithm.

I don't know jack about driver development, but is something that interests
me. If the accuracy is low, can i improve it in driver or firmware?
If its possible, i can even trade reception packet speed for a better
accuracy in timestamp.

The other question is, what is the difference between the ath9k_htc and
carl9170 drivers? Both support the AR9287 (from the debian wiki).

Thanks for all
