Notes

Note 1: This version ships with a version of HAL that doesn't support the Atheros AR5006EG chipset. Tested with Linux driverloader; partial success as the adapter would reset due to interrupt problems. Works perfectly with ndiswrapper: grab the .inf and .sys files from Atheros/Drivers directory from the Windows partion.
