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

[Adrian Chadd]

Checkout from -HEAD:

sys/dev/ath/
sys/modules/ath
sys/modules/ath_pci

Make sure your -8 source is in /usr/src. :)

Go into sys/modules/ath and make ; same with sys/modules/ath_pci &&
make ; then just unload your current if_ath.ko, load if_ath.ko and
if_ath_pci.ko. It should be good to go.
