Atheros AR9271L and Una

Post by cowboyrandyerwin »

Does a Atheros AR9271L chipset in a USB WIFI adapter still work with 20.3? By which I mean is it actually "plug and play?" I notice that the Penguin Wireless N USB uses that Atheros AR927 and works with 20.3 without drivers. I'm considering buying a generic adapter that is 1/4 the cost, but I'm not sure that the AR9271L is supported by a 5.4 kernel.

Excellent! My system is nearly a mirror of yours, so I'm looking forward to plug and play web access. Many thanks.
