This URL is broken due to the May 2011 purchase of Atheros by Qualcomm. The new URL that appears to be similar is: http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/technology/technology.php?nav1=47 Note that the old URL also appears to be in the man page for ath(4) Unfortunately the new URL does not seem to be a database lookup of which atheros chips are in aftermarket cards, so the supported WiFi list is now very lacking, as an end user cannot pull the model number of a PCMCIA wireless card and look it up in their database to see if it contains an Atheros chip. I did a bit of research and for what it's worth the D-Link DWA-552 and DWA-556 contain the Atheros 5416 and 5418 chips, respectively. I don't know if they work with this driver. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
