Thanks for the comments. I agree with all of them and will re-spin a patch.

Yes, at first sight it looks really complex but it isn't.

Turned out I had a corrupt firmware file. After downloading from Luis' URL it works fine
with my WNDA3100. Guess I had an earlier version from before 2009/05/28 or firefox corrupted it during download.

What's your setup to get 80+ MBit/s throughput with the two-stage firmware?
I've used an 802.11g AP so far, but have access to an 802.11n dual-band AP now.
Guess I should use 5GHz as 2.4 is rather crowded here.
How can I put ar9170 into 802.11n/40MHz mode?

Regards,
Jörg.
