Dear, all.

I got an Apple original WIFI module which chip is AR9388.
Plug it to my latop, it doesn't recognize by Ubuntu 12.04 .

And try to plug it to my router(base on Linux--DD-WRT ). ath9k doesn't work for it.

Module works fine on Win7 PC, so HW is ok.

AR9388 module is cheap and with 450M performance, very familar at AR9380.

Anyone know howto support it by ath9k and ath10k ?

Try lspci at the router, got this:
#lspci
00:00.0 Class 0200:168c:abcd
When manual add Device Id to the src code, it failure again.

Here is the boot log:
