It is not perfect (stability link status), but it works correctly most of the time: $ grep -i ath0 /var/run/dmesg.boot ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x88000000-0x8800ffff irq 18 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 ath0: mac 5.9 phy 4.3 5ghz radio 4.6 ath0: Ethernet address: 00:0f:b5:a0:fb:43 ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps Maybe is it related to the PCI version (any user here?). -- -jpeg.
