Yes, that is a very nature of atheros radio chips. It is simplier to tell what you can't do in software with these chipsets. This complicates writing a driver a bit too ;-) =20 ->=20 -> Nice to see you are in "release early" crowd. ->=20 -> http://mateusz.agrest.org/atheros/: -> may I suggest using atheros-20050805 instead of atheros-08052005 -> (will maintain correct sorting order in 2006,2007...)
