I haven't seen much about it since, and a patch that was available then didn't work for this particular model either. Before I go out and buy a DWL-520 instead, can anyone tell me if this model is now supported on the atheros driver? My goal is to use this NIC in my FreeBSD gateway and use it as an access point as well. This card seems great because it's got great speed, backward compatibility and a detachable antenna that's more convenient than if it were hiding behind the tower. Thanks, Sandro
