How do you know it's AR9271 chipset and not, say, AR1006? I found /AR9271/i on the CD in driver files for Windows 2000, XP, XP64. Vista driver files don't have this substring anywhere (they have '9271' in netathur.inf 6 times, and '1006' is 6 times in analogus lines as well)= =2E =20 At this moment a new driver called ath9k_htc is under (early) development: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc If i understand correctly 'Status' section, this driver is wireless and radioless at this moment, right? Maybe I should check this driver to see if it recognizes my card correctl= y? best regards, Piotr --------------enigEBA21B266C8F61D9E3A309E9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAksDH7oACgkQhIjjAqQbQwP6uQCgkzD1HjjLqbqgcI1frgjKDWwi MCQAn1D2Iiydy8V13UIBWXWgrCcEDjsj =2w0Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigEBA21B266C8F61D9E3A309E9--
