When you run dhclient without arguments, it tries to get an ip address on any of the interfaces listed with /sbin/ifconfig minus the lo interface. If you take a look at that output with the ath9k module loaded, you'll see a wmaster0 interface. My understanding is that this is a kind of abstraction

I would suggest reporting this to the ath9k-devel list: https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel especially if it is reproducible. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sorry if I used the wrong notation, that was 25 Mbits/s ~ 3.2 Mbytes/s which is only slightly faster that 11g so it's not that wow, but an improvement nonetheless. What modules is module assistant trying to build? The headers shouldn't be a problem. If you've compiled your own kernel, just make
