      Still no "ath0" available in Interfaces->Assign on my Alix 2D13.

        ath0 is back on Alix 2D13! Very good. I have set it up in Access Point mode, enabled DHCP and added firewall rules and it is working as expected. I am posting across that now.

            I don't know about that. I think the card in my Alix 2D13 is only b/g

              I tested an N card and it's not recognised anymore.
              It was recognised in an earlier version.

              Is still shown as:
              none2@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x3123168c chip=0x0033168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
                  class      = network

                Can you tell me which vrsion it was recognized before?

                Its a PCI card and nothing should have changed there afaik.

                I see it even supported by ath AR9300_DEVID_AR9580_PCIE

                  The march 27 version.
                  It seems these files aren't on the snapshot server anymore.

                    A March 27th image was the last time I saw if_cdce.ko; I suspect many modules have been missing since then.

                      Those are inside the kernel nowdays.

                      And if_cdce iirc is for USB interfaces while this is a PCIe one.
                      Judging on the other seeing the ath interface for assignment this is a bit strange happening.

                      Though can you try with the next set that will come out?

                        As a test i downloaded the current amd64 memstick serial and booted from this one.
                        There the card is detected correctly.

                        The version on the sata was upgraded with the autoupgrade function.

                        I reinstalled and the card seems to work now.

                            Well the gui is severely lacking in config options.
                            Shorlty what i'm missing most:
                            Antenna selection. Since we are working with MIMO devices now there is no more primary/secondary antenna, but all at once.
                            Some mechanism to select the active chains is required here.
                            Other stuff which is missing selection option:
                            HT20/HT40
                            LDCP
                            RXSTBC1,12,123
                            TXSTBC
                            short GI 20/40

                            Some preliminary tests show that most of it is enabled by default.
                            Will test some more tomorrow.

                            We do what we must, because we can.
