Is anybody using the WL-500W with an AR5008 or AR9160 card and having a satisfactory experience?

Thanks

I'm using AR5008 (ar5416), runing the latest trunk, with ath9k...

dmesg |grep Atheros
   phy0: Atheros AR5416 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR2133 RF Rev:81: mem=0xc0280000, irq=6

iwconfig wlan0
   wlan0     IEEE 802.11bgn  Mode:Master  Frequency:2.442 GHz  Tx-Power=20 dBm

I' have no problems with 11bg... just gona try 11n...


I will post the results smile...

Any fresh news on this? Are Ar5008 cards working in n mode with latest 2.6 trunk and Wl 500w? If so, are there any additional pathces to apply at compilation time to make it work?
Thank you

I tested my wl-500gp v1 with a mikrotik r52n ar9220 and its not even detected on the router. used r18430 and ath9k.

Have it working on a ubnt rspro as ap, with ar5413 ath5k as sta.
