There was a scanning module that needed to be loaded that didn't happen
automagically for me the last time I used an Atheros based card.
I tried one of these cards in an old crusty intel based server I have laying
around and they *work* but caused weird slowness problems that weren't do to
CPU usage. On the laptop I'm currently using they work flawlessly though. I
agree with Russell, featureful yep, solid nope..
