Bug Description
The wlan 802.11n USB adapter branded NetGear not supported by Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27-11).
Output of lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0846:9001 NetGear, Inc.
Support for this USB wlan adapter is given by otus driver patched [1]. There is need to compile a modified version of wpa_supplicant to use WPA encryption.
NetworkManager fail to manage the new interface (working).
Log of NM about ath1 interface:
Jan 30 14:40:07 daniele NetworkManager: <WARN> wireless_
22).
Jan 30 14:40:07 daniele NetworkManager: <WARN> constructor(): (ath1): Device unsupported, ignoring.
However the support of WN111v2 given by otus drivers is very instable.

Update: NetworkManager fail to get rage information because the interface is down. Start NetworkManager with inteface up work fine.
One problem is that on device connect interface must be up.
We need better support to 802.11n USB devices for Jaunty+1 release!
