Will this support 11g as I read something about the wireless stack in 6.0 is different in some way compared to 5.4 ? I tried to compile 6.0-BETA 2 with both device ath and device ath_hal but the kernel compile died with undefined symbol error's, i've google it but not found anything, any idea's guy's ?
