I'm replying off list because I don't know the status of a bug
reported with
a USB attached AR9271 with OpenBSD 5.3-release at the end of May:
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugs&m=137001370631666&w=2
There may have been a fix, or this bug may not apply to the specific
implementation of your chosen USB device.
You might contact the original poster before making your acquisition.
Uhmm ... Thanks Josh for the info (I will try to contact him). Then,
any recommendation about some usb wifi adapter that works as a hostap
under openbsd without problems??
C.L.,
While I was slightly disconcerted to see my private message to you
published to this list[1], when damien@ added AR9271 support in 2011, he
did so with a Ubiquiti WifiStation EXT. See
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=129429890117455&w=2 regarding it.
[1] I hadn't done due diligence by searching the CVS logs in detail,
just a quick glance at the logs for src/sys/dev/usb/if_athn_usb.c for an
obvious mention of a patch for firmware issues. Like many people, I
like to appear in public as if I know what I'm talking about ... even
when I don't. :)
