SR71-A and linux

[kako]

Hi, just now I've got two of Litestation-71, and two of SR71-A.
BUt one of the LS-71 doesn't recognize the card inserted. Both of the SR71-As are OK in the other board. But I don't wanted to wait until an other board arrives, and wanted to try it immediately. Inserted into a mPCI-PCI adapter, and put into my home box running linux (at the ubnt home I read, it has a linux driver). It booted normally, and "voila" there was two new interfaces wmaster0, and wlan1.
Wanted to connect to the running litestation71-sr71A, but it doesn't do anything. just stays on freq 2412, doesn't steps through channels, or someting to be seem working on.
anybody knows how to get it working?

(maybe) relevant infos:

I can't find any info by the net why it isn't working normally.
Anybody? :-)

I just asked a question.
But on the product's home page mentioned:
"Operating System Support Linux"

It might means two things:
1, There is a driver in the package of the product for the mentioned operating system,
2, The operating system has driver, and the ubnt team supports the end user to make it working.

Hello,

Option 1 is correct. There is a poject called Ath9K for 802.11 mimo support.

Thanks,

Mike
