So, I'm trying to understand the current state of the ar9170 and otus
drivers so that I may know where to direction some effort.  I'd like to
get an WN111v2 running with 11n support, and am willing to start with
either the ar9170 or otus drivers as needed.  But I've not been following
along in too much detail so far.

Advice on where I should start, what's working, what's not working,
what needs help, etc?  And should I start with one of the linville Git
trees?  Or wireless-everything?

Thanks,
jdl
