It's working reasonably well here, but there's glitches with Android
devices. After a while they either say the AP is 'out of range' or 'saved'
with the non functional option to connect. That's with both an Androided
ICS HP Touchpad and a Sony Ericcson Xperia Pro with latest official ICS.

Sadly the net is not particularly forthcoming with whether this is
ultimately an access point or Android issue. Windows works fine.

I also had one complete wireless failure, but that could easily have been
another issue/hardware, as I managed to pull out the power cable when
fitting a video cable to check the console..

athn0: MAC AR5416 rev 2, RF AR2133 (3T2R), ROM rev 5, address ...

Cheers - this is much appreciated!
