TP-LINK WN422G v2 - it WORKS ! :)

I was fighting to run TP-LINK WN422G v2 usb wifi adapter for a long time. I know that there is ar9170usb and ath9k_hw drivers, which should support it, but there isnt for now. Ive even tried to compile git kernel, with my patch on ar9170usb, which adds usbid of my card to this driver, but still it didnt worked. It loaded without error, but there wasnt any network interface made by it. Also official Ndiswrapper wiki told me that ndiswrapper dont work with this card.

Also i found lots of forum/newsgroup/blog posts about linux unsupporting this card in any way, and dont found even one, which tells about installing this adapter on linux successfully.

But today i tried to run this adapter one more (and last) time. This time with ndiswrapper. Ive installed driver from CDROM (ver. 7.7.0.51), but ndiswrapper didnt see any adapters. So ive manually paired adapter with driver, by doing:

sudo ndiswrapper -a 0cf3:1006 netathuw
sudo ndiswrapper -m
sudo ndiswrapper -ma
sudo ndiswrapper -mi


and after system reboot ... IT WORKS. I did not encountered any probles, or dmesg errors for now, even when downloading torrents from lots of seeds, and later i will test it with networkmanager.

local/ndiswrapper 1.56-1
local/kernel26 2.6.32.10-1 (base)

Good luck owners of this adapter!
