But why wont it install? Is it in a package (binary blob), or compiled with kernel? _________________ My blog |

The ar9170usb driver is obsolete. carl9170 handles these chips now, it's in the kernel, so you don't need anything extra, just activate it in the kernel config. The required firmware is in the linux-firmware package. |
