I have a new USB WIFI stick Airlive X.USB-3. It's a a/b/g/n solution with dual external atennas based ar9170 chipset.
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar9170 website states that the mentioned usb device id is now in the compatible hardware list for this driver.
However, I'am using Debian 6.0 on Alix 1D board, and when issuing:
modinfo ar9170usb
the list does not contain alias entry for my usb device.
My question is how to update this driver or force it to work with my device.
Many thanks in advance.
Update 2011-03-07:
My kernel version is: 2.6.32-5-686, output of modinfo ar9170usb:
