This should work as AP on Debian=20 Lenny(current kernel 2.6.32.11). So here are my requirements for this=20 device: 1.stable open source driver included in the kernel, not from an extern=20 source. I want to use this device as AP! 2.USB2 compatible 3.WPA2 compliant for more savety 4.adjustable transmission power to reduce the maximum range 5.A low power sonsumption as low as possible, a reference value is 1wat= t 6.price should under 40=E2=82=AC=3D60$ as much as possible I just found your new device side: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/devices but are these devices who works well or not? If i buy such a device, is= =20 only the Atheros Chip number important for me, or should i watch for th= e=20 Subvendor ans Subsystem number too? =46urther on i only found PCI devices. Is there a supported usb device=20 list too? regards Markus
