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,

JD
