Well, before dropping I'd really like to not only know if all the 
hardware is supported (there might be other hardware that is not yet 
supported by ath5k and ath9k as of 2.6.27 -- nobody from us checked that 
yet afaics), but also if ath5k and ath9k can do more than just the 
basics. I for example was told that monitor mode doesn't work yet with 
ath9k; more than just a handful of people might want to use that. Same 
with support for master mode (but the number of people doing that is 
likely a lot smaller).
