Ubiquiti SR71-E (ar9280) support? Or, maybe, other Mini-PCIe high-power WiFi card?

Would you mind trying the ath driver from -HEAD and see if it's
better/worse/same?

I'm worried about introducing regressions in the -HEAD ath code. In
particular, AR9280/AR9285 was missing complete TX and board
calibration code which may have caused some issues like TX distortion.
I'd like to make sure those are fixed.

Thanks,


Adrian
