Yeah, it's the same Atheros chip as the CM9

Considering that the driver was originally written to use it, that could
be done.  The HAL is basically where a lot of magic numbers are used to
initialize different versions of the chip.  Unfortunately people have to
take steps like this just to figure out how the chip works.  Apparently
Atheros thinks the general public is too stupid or malicious to have direct
access to the chip and be able to do things like change frequencies or
whatever.   I wonder if Teresa Meng would find this attitude to be
in the original spirit that she founded the company with.  Maybe some
calls to her at Stanford could open up some more possibilities.  This
situation is very annoying.
