Yes it is, its a 11n minicard. Btw, I'm a happy user of I believe some of the ath work you've done in the past so thanks! :D! May I ask how far along are you? And if this is something you can hand over to someone else to finish? I was going to ask ralink for a spec sheet in an attempt to see if something could be done. I *thought* they were open source friendly? Btw, about my other point, so does FreeBSD have a separate ralink stack from the rt2x00 project? (I haven't peeked at the source yet, I was hoping perhaps it had support for the card and could be ported over, etc.). -aps
