The D-Link site doesn't mention DWA160A or DWA-160A at all.  It has
DWA-160 only.  When downloading the drivers, there is a choice between
"DWA-160" and "DWA-160_REVB".  The former has Atheros drivers, the later
has rt2870.

I guess the original "DWA-160" was "rev A", so it could have transformed
to "DWA-160A" somewhere.  That said, the online retailers sell "DWA-160"
and not "DWA-160A".

I think we can write that DWA-160 rev A is supported by ar9170 and
DWA-160 rev B is supported by rt2870 in the staging tree.
