Im calling for help from anyone who would be able to lend a hand to get this card supported as it should be under ath_hal AR5416, I find it would be deeply beneficial to any user using a netbook, which is currently become quite a trend. Also please note that the driver is already 'implemented' in 8.0-current its just tracking down what is causing one issue: Dec 17 15:07:21 laptop3 kernel: ath_hal_wait: timeout on reg 0x9860: 0xffffffff & 0x00000001 != 0x00000000 Dec 17 15:07:21 laptop3 kernel: first cal Dec 17 15:07:21 laptop3 kernel: ar5416InitCal: offset calibration did not complete in 1ms; noisy environment?
