Hi,
I am new to openwrt and want to install Kamikaze/2.6. Unfortunately the FAQ link at the top of the forum gives me 404s.
I've bought a new Asus WL500gP. Now I have to find an Atheros Wlan card. Does any Atheros chip work or do I have to look for certain chipsets?
Is there a list somewhere which mini-pci cards use which chipset?
thx
sven

I accidentally stumbled over this post, so sorry for digging it up again...
An old Atheros card didn't work well in my ASUS WL500GP V1, so I bought a new one which works like a charm.
TL-WN961N -> 300Mbit Draft n 2.0 (new Atheros Chipset)

https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=20573 <- explaination, why the old one didn't work.
As mentioned in the other thread, it only does B G with the current Openwrt ATH driver. When the new openwrt atk5k is stable, you will be able to switch the card to N.
However since the N standard has been published on October 29 2009 there probably will be non-draft N products shortly.
(The strange thing is that I don't read anyting about "draft-n" on the vendor website anymore - however there is also no recent firmware update available for the card. So it seems as if the card already complies with the final standard.)

Edit: corrected a typo.

My Toshiba WLL4071-D4 AR5006G works just fine in client mode on WL500gP with 8.09 for months.
Maybe they deliver to DE? http://www.wirelesslan.gr/product_info. … cts_id=917
The discussion might have continued from here.
