Hi,
I upgrade my x86 system to v3.0
I waited for use Atheros5416 but Atheros5416 interface isn’t useable.
the AR5416 802.11n chipset is outdated and doesnt support Radar detect in 5 ghz band which is required for europe. this is a hardware issue, which has lead to the big delays with the release and availability of the XSPAN chipsets during spring/summer last year. in last quarter last year was the AR9001 XSPAN chipset release as replacement for the 1st generation AR5008 chipset ( AR5416).
there are 2x newer atheros chipsets out now , AR9001 as dual chip solution and the 3rd generation XSPAN chipsets AR92xx as singel chip solution …
both new chipsets are not supported by the opensource linux driver madwifi … and will never be - well this doesnt matter for mikrotik os, since i guess that mikrotik got a Atheros carrier license, which include all sourcecode needed.
currently the atheros carrier license include support for all new XSPAN chipsets - stability is another thing and still a big issue with these driver from atheros …
the public ROS releases don’t suport any 802.11n cards.
When you say “public” does this mean MT may have developed something provately for another company?
