Atheros XSPAN is a class of parts. HEAD supports 5416 parts in legacy mode. I have experimental code to support 9160 parts (legacy only again) but haven't sent it out yet. I also have code to support 9280 and 9285 parts but no hardware to test against and I am unwilling to put out the code untested. > > Thanks for the replies to my question about installing from a USB drive. > Sounds like something to avoid for the time being.
