SubjectRe: [ath9k-devel] AR9380 current driver supported features
I cut out the stuff about channels, as that seems to be highly
dependent on which source you get your NIC from and what country code
is programmed in.

This is using kernel 3.0-rc2 and the very latest (I just pulled)
iw.git. The NIC is not associated, all I did was modprobe ath9k.
