So I've got a supported Atheros card, I think something is wrong with
my config for the adapter because it's still not showing up in scans
on my Samsung Galaxy Ace. There are a lot of media options, I'm using
the defaults which I assumed would be right but could be wrong. I
might have to do a lot of research into the various media options but
a quick answer would be nice.

I really want to get this running.
