Hi Adrian,
The docs say Atheros AR9285(MAC/Baseband/RF) with AR3011 -- I tend to think
the AR3011 is an error in their docs as the card is not advertised as
supporting bluetooth, and because an AR9285 is apparently exposed over PCIe,
I tend to think the card will work fine as an hostap, but just want to
double check.
Anyone have any insight?
Yes, it's actually a dual Bluetooth + AR9285 NIC. I forget the card
identifier. But it's a perfectly fine AR9285 and it'll also
(hopefully) work with bluetooth.
The AR9285 is Mini-PCIe. The USB is just for the bluetooth IC. They're
joined together for doing bluetooth coexistence.
Awesome, if you're interested, I can start pushing out bluetooth
coexistence patches for you to test. Are you able to run -HEAD?
Habey have two atheros Mini-PCIe cards:
http://www.habeyusa.com/products_show.php?id=361 -- HB-NB037H
http://www.habeyusa.com/products_show.php?id=353 -- HB-NE785H
The NB037 model is advertised as supporting bluetooth, and the NE785
model (which I asked about, and I believe to have incorrect docs) is
not. To me it appears that they have copy/pasted the page for the
bluetooth supporting model to the non-bluetooth supporting model.
I was tempted to get the NB037 model anyway but the docs suggest that
Antenna 2 is required for bluetooth -- I only have one antenna mounting
position in my ITX case. I am happy to get this card and test for you
if you think I'll actually be able to test bluetooth -- that only
Antenna 1 is required for both wifi and bluetooth. If possible I'd
prefer patches against 9.0R as the machine its going into is fairly
important.
Matthew
