Hello Kalle
We're using Ubuntu 10.04 with Kernel 2.6.32
We got the open source driver from QCA via their support portal -
ath6kl_usb_3.2.1_RC
Rev B is the correct chip designation for the AR9374 silicon (that is the
same as hw1.3) - so AR9374-BL3D is the full chip number
We're getting mixed messages about support for this version in the open
community.
Thanks
Trevor

What ath6kl version are you using exactly? From kernel or from
compat-wireless? Where did you get it? What is your kernel version?
The latest version of ath6kl does support ar6004 hw1.3.
What's RevB? I haven't seen that before.

This is an internal (forked) version of the driver. For getting help on
that one you need to use official QCA support channels.

That's because the internal driver is different from what's in upstream
Linux kernel or compat-wireless.
