No, that is for an AR5424 10.2 phy 6.1, this will not work with your AR5424 14.2 phy 7.0 > Why? I've made no changes in kernel and I was waiting for same error (status > 3)! Possibly the card is in a different state (cold boot vs warm boot)? Could be lots of possible reasons. I would suggest one of the mini-USB devices (or swapping the internal card, but the mini-USB ones are much cheaper+easier to buy).
