 I'm  afraid,  it  doesn't have enough performance for my wired traffic, and
 have router and AP as different devices is not what I like.

Hi guys!

Lev, it seems it's time for you to get some dual-11n-nic router (like
f.e. DIR-825) and join to mips community :)

That's right. The atheros devices have one MAC and one radio. There
was a module which used one MAC and two radios (one 2ghz and one 5ghz)
but only one was active at a time. since there was only one MAC, you
couldn't even do dual-band concurrent operation with that.

There's nothing _stopping_ a manufacturer putting two NICs on one
board. There's some dual-AR9220 boards out there which have two
AR9220's on a single mini-PCI card. But they require a slightly
modified board - the second NIC has its IDSEL pin on another (unused?
gpio?) mini-PCI pin. So if you plug it into a normal device you only
see one AR9220. Yes, FreeBSD-HEAD runs on the particular dev board and
drives those NICs correctly.

So far, I don't think anyone has made a public, "correct" dual band
single NIC - which involves putting a PCI or PCIe bridge chip on a
card, as well as two AR9xxx chips.

 So,  if  (BIG  IF)  it is possible, it will be channel hoping anyway?
 Hardware   doesn't   support   working   on  two  channels  with  two
 raidomodules  (I  mean, 9380, I know that 9280 doesn't support that),
 am I right?

 Channel hoping is not interesting solution anyway :)

 And thank you for all your work and effort!

 To  be  honest,  I  don't  understand  clear boundary between HAL and
driver, if we speak about only one (family of) device.

 And I repeat my informal question: will it be possible to create
dual-band AP with these cards, which will work in both bands at same
time with oinly one card and one used slot on motherboard? Now you
need two physically separate cards to achieve this...

Nope, because there's no ETA at the present moment on when I've
cleared all the hurdles for an open source AR9380 HAL.

On the flip side, the driver side is almost done. All that I have to
do now is PAPRD training calibration support and MSI handling; then
it's _just_ the HAL. So if someone wanted to take ath9k's ath9k_hw
code and make a HAL out of it..
(It would be kind of evil to see things go Atheros HAL -> ath9k ->
FreeBSD HAL, but hey if that's what has to happen..)
