It's not uath. It's a different beast entirely. Basically, it requires someone with USB clue to write the USB glue between the ath(4) and ath_hal(4) code and the USB interface. Look at what ath9k_htc implements. It uses most of ath9k, but it implements a data/control pipe over USB and some commands to tell the firmware to do things (like new/delete client, etc.) -adrian On 18 July 2013 08:39, CeDeROM <cederom@tlen.pl> wrote: > Hello :-) > > I have just bought USB WiFi b/g/n dongle from TP-LINK model TL-WN822B > Ver:2.0 [1] which use following chipsets: Atheros AR9002U-2NG, Atheros > AR7010, Atheros AR9287.
