Atheros 5008

[Warren Block]

Just been testing an AR5BXB72 (AR5008) from a scrapped Macbook, and it's
working very well. My compliments!

It connects as 802.11g. The access point is a WRT300N running DD-WRT
and set to Mixed mode. Shouldn't this combination be able to do
802.11n? The system is running i386 9-STABLE as of yesterday.

ath 802.11n is a W.I.P. and currently is being worked on by Adrian. The
802.11n support is turned off by default because of incomplete support. If
you'd like to test some things it's possible only in Adrian's if_ath_tx
subtree and hopefuly soon in -HEAD.
