It's stable and seems to work ok = for me however. I have an 5212 card on IBM X31. Setting at the same location, the windows Atheros driver works very well. However, using FreeBSD the network sometime= s hang and saw some 'ath0 device timeout' at console. But, when I switched to= =20 ath_sample (orig is onoe) it works very well. Althought I didn't check the speed, the ssh connection does not hang any more. BTW, ifconfig ath0 list ap shows that S:N is about 8:0 to 13:0. My current is Jun 15. Cheers, Rong-En Fan
