The Cace Airpcap NX device is an atheros 9170 USB device (sold with custom
windows drivers for rfmon in windows).

Works fine once the USB device id is added to ar9170, device 0xCACE,0x0300

On a related note, the Cace AirPcap N (PCI/Cardbus/PCIE) is an AR5008,
with the PCI ID CACE:0023 (PCI/Cardbus)/CACE:0024 (PCIE). Someone with
an AirPcap N should test if adding this ID to ath9k works.
