Heya smile I'm using OpenWRT on a Asus wl500gP with atheros minipci card instead of the broadcom one.
Using 2.6 kernel ofc and the latest svn.
I'm interested of others using the same hardware as me and what your experience is the the wireless network.
I'm having some trouble with mine like regular disconnects on an intel card and other stuff.

This is my wireless configuration btw.
If anyone has any tips or whatever please do give me some advice smile I'm all out of ideas here.
