i just replaced my broadcomm internal wifi card for an Atheros AR928x , but there are a few issues.
1) It doesnt display WEP networks, only WPA/WPA2 , is there a patch or something i have missed if so how do i install it?
2) There are less networks displayed, so the range is less than my other card.
I'm happy to provide more info if needed
