I recently purchased a wireless card with an AR9380 chipset.  I'm 
wanting to try the driver, but would I need to update my whole kernel to 
-HEAD or just the directory to -HEAD and keep the rest as -STABLE?

I'm using the system as a home server, low use but 24/7 availability as 
much as possible.  How reliable is it currently?
