[debian-non-standard] Current status of 43xx wifi on Asus Premium

[Sebastian Bialy]

Hello.

I'm trying to compile[1] OpenWRT for several days (trunk) and get wifi 
43xx working on kernel 2.6.25.20. It still seems to be unstable giving 
kernel oops, dumping mysterious errors to logs or just simply hangs.

Before I start to ask questions about 43xx problems I would like to 
know: what is current status of 43xx (4318 to be specific) wifi on Asus 
wl500g-Premium with 2.6.x? Is it working fine or still under 
development? And, does anybody have working kernel that I can simply 
test on my board just in case I have broken hardware?

I need at least access-point mode of my wifi card. Is this functionality 
working now or should I change card to something else (I do have spare 
Atheros 5211 which I already check but without luck (another problem to 
discuss in case 43xx does not work) ).

This page:

seems to be a bit old, openwrt works with more recent kernel now than 
2.6.19.2. Any reason I should not try new releases?

[1] I need some kernel modules like crypto loop and specific USB 
hardware so I need to compile it myself.
