TP-Link TL-WN822N Wireless USB with openSUSE

English Hardware
1

I’m looking at the TP-LINK High Gain USB Adapter TL-WN822N, currently on
offer from Overclockers here in the UK.
I like the fact that it’s on a USB cable so I can site it away from the PC.

Does anyone out there have any experience with one of these with openSUSE
(or any other Linux flavour for that matter) as the only reviews I seem to
be able to find are for Winblows.

Google shows http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/view/5412 claiming the it
is an Atheros AR9170 chip and that it works straight out of the box.

Can you tell us exactly what you want to achieve with this?
