atheros broadcast/multicast corruption with multiple hostap's

[Maciej Milewski]

Hi Adrian,
I've found the chipsets you were asking - those cards are pretty popular as 
far as I can see on many wireless forums.

It looks that it's
miniPCI Atheros 5213, Senao NL-5354MP Plus Aries2

Atheros AR5004 4th generation chipset. 
AR5213 (MAC+BB) + AR5112 (2.4/5GHz radio)

That would be very nice to have it in one place to follow in case of any 
suspected problems.
