AR5416 is Atheros' first PCI 802.11n AR5418 is Atheros' first PCI-Express 802.11n These both had the radios separated on the chip. Everything after this all 802.11n chipsets from Atheros started to be built in a single chip, reducing cost and overhead connectors between hardware components. This also meant simplifying a lot of register controls, which you can see on ath9k/phy.c file. AR9280 is Atheros' first dual stream PCI-Express single-chip AR9220 is ATheros' first dual stream PCI single-chip They are essentially the same except for the bus interface. Both of them are supported. If there are issues they are bugs.
