Comment (by ultiva):
Works well with AR9285 on Sony Vaio VPC-EB1S1E (compiled on Ubuntu 9.10
32bit) (where ath9k and diswrapper + xp driver 7.7.0 worked with many
issues like frequently interrupted transfer). Transfering file over LAN
looks stable at about 2.8 MB/s. There are some problems but I cannot say
if there are serious
1. dmesg reports lots of these:
wifi0: ath_fatal_tasklet: Hardware error; resetting.
2. signal quality jumps frequently
3. link speed reported by iwconfig ath0 look weird - it drops down to
6MB/s and jumps up to 54MB/s very frequently
4. TXpower cannot be set above 14dBm, while on ath9k it is set to 20dBm.
These issues seems to have no impact at wireless speed. Done several tests
with file transfer over LAN and it looks pretty stable. Also under WIN7
wifi works without problems.
