I did find it listed on http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/products/external?highlight=%28TL-WN861N%29 However, I also found out that it has very very poor Rx sensitivity (only -68 dBm) at 11g, and much much less at 11N. My location relative to AP is very bad. I need a card supported by ath9k and with Rx sensitivity that can go all the way to -97dBm. Cheers, JD
