Unfortunately, this is the only version I have tried. I decided to buy this laptop only after looking that the h/w is mostly supported in linux kernel >= 2.6.29 - which is where the ath9k got support for 9285, IIRC. After installing base kubuntu jaunty on it, I cloned the ubuntu- karmic git tree which is based on >= 2.6.30 so that I'd get both the ath9k for 9285 as well as radeonhd driver for the ATi Radeon HD 4650 that the laptop comes with. So, I don't know whether support for 9285 was working in earlier versions at all. :( If you can provide me with the starting pointers, I'll try to dig deeper.
