Hi!
I have 

ath1: <Atheros 9280> mem 0xff9b0000-0xff9bffff irq 23 at device 2.0 on pci5
ath1 at pci0:5:2:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x3a781186 chip=0x0029168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    class      = network

as AP (it's brand new PCI D-Link RangeBooster N™ 650 DWA-547 802.11n) and

ath0: <Atheros 9285> mem 0xd7100000-0xd710ffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci6
ath0 at pci0:6:0:0:        class=0x028000 card=0x30a117aa chip=0x002b168c 
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Atheros Communications Inc.'
    device     = 'Atheros AR9285 Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g/n Controller 
(AR928x)'
    class      = network

as a client (it's lenovo y550p laptop).
All i can have now it's a OFDM/54Mbps mode 11g. Is it possible to have 
something faster? Also, atheros extensions, such as fast frames and turbo 
modes, not working ever. Any help is welcome.
