Thank you for your response. Well I just thought that I can use this WLAN
dongle since it available in my country (Indonesia). Most of Indonesian
wireless (small-to-medium) network mostly geared with Mikrotik devices,
and I don't fancy them. This TL-WN722N had a detach-able antenna and I
figure if I can make use of this maybe I can made something out of it. But
I guess I should find another dongle or card that suitable with OpenBSD.
The AR9271 chipset is not supported by OpenBSD, it would
require a new driver. It is supported under Linux by the
ath9k_htc driver so it would be possible to add support in
OpenBSD by reusing code in athn(4).
The AR9271 is not very interesting though, it didn't make
it into a lot of products, is expensive, and these big USB
dongles are boring and ugly.
All the 802.11 USB devices made by Atheros have been quite
disappointing.
