Both sources tell about AR9223 chipset, but I is not mentioned on
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k
Maybe someone from ath9k ML knows it? Or try to Google it.

Thanx Rafal.
I did find it listed on

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/products/external?highlight=%28TL-WN861N%29

However, I also found out that it has very very poor Rx sensitivity (only -68 dBm) at 11g,
and much much less at 11N. My location relative to AP is very bad. I need a card supported
by ath9k and with Rx sensitivity that can go all the way to -97dBm.

Cheers,

Brian Prodoehl

That sensitivity number is the sensitivity at the 54Mbps bitrate. If you're comparing product briefs or datasheets, make sure you're comparing numbers for the same bitrate. That card can receive 1Mbps down to -90dBm, and 6Mbps down to -88dBm. You'll find cards with sensitivity 6 or 7dB better, but that's about it.
