software OS4 : Atheros 54Mbps wireless driver for OS4

A driver for Atheros AR5000-series 54Mbps 802.11g wireless PCI cards has been released for AmigaOS 4. It supports WPA/WPA2 encryption (as well as WEP), and is available for free on Aminet. PCI-Express cards may also work but are untested. (Please click read more.)
Versions of the driver are already distributed with AROS and MorphOS, but it is unlikely to become available for AmigaOS 3 because of DMA requirements.
There appears to be a problem with 802.11n-capable cards. I don't know if there are any PCIe cards that are 802.11g/b/a only.

I have one of These here and would send it the developer to try if wanted.
Thanks, but I have an 802.11n-capable PCI card to test with, so it probably wouldn't be an advantage to have a PCIe card (and I don't have a machine with a PCIe slot anyway).
