Are there TWO kinds of athreos drivers?

Do you mean that I can get TWO atheros drivers at the source tree in open_networking/trunk?

At this time, I only need the driver for x86. 
Because I need to confirm the feasibility of access point using Athereos chipset in QNX.
But my final target is ppc. 

As you said, if there is TWO ath drivers, how can I get the driver for ppc?
Is it outside of source tree?

Hi Wayne:
	I'm not sure about the question you're asking with the "new" versus
"old" packages.  To get the latest, you need to build from source.  It's
high time for another milestone build though, so that's something that I'll
have to put together shortly.

Thanks for fixed. 
I confirmed that the source tree in revision 289 is completed without no
errors.
Now I can get the devnp-ath.so file in trunk/stage/x86/lib/dll.

BTW, how can I use new packages instead of the old packages?
