Hello All,
I'd like to try the Killer Wireless-N 1202 wifi adapter, but am concerned if Ubuntu will recognize it. Is there anybody out there running a Killer Wireless-N wifi adapter. If so, what drivers did you use?
Thanks for the help

"ath9k is a completely FOSS wireless driver for all Atheros IEEE 802.11n PCI/PCI-Express and AHB WLAN based chipsets."

Yes it will work out of the box on Ubuntu and most other distrobutions

So, If I understand correctly, I would still need to install the drivers for Windows, and install the ath9k driver for Ubuntu...correct?

Also, I forgot to say the card is going into a desktop with a Maximus VI Genie motherboard. One of the reasons I am looking into the Killer-N card, vs the Intel Ultimate N 6300, is I do believe this to be a better card in some areas, and it has Bluetooth, and the intel card does not. So I am also experimenting if I can actually get Bluetooth to work on a desktop motherboard.
Thanks for the help

What Skittles means by "Out of the box" is that you have to do nothing to make it work, it just will. No installation, no config, oh happy day.
