I just purchased a D-link DWA-160 today. I tried Lucid with 2.6.32-30-generic, partially work. I tried Lucid with 2.6.35-28-generic, works better, but some ssids work intermittently. I tried Lucid with 2.6.38- 02063803- generic, blacklisted ar9170, and tried to use carl9170. It failed from lack of firmware. I manually download the firmware and installed it. Then it just worked.
