WIFI connection problem DLINK dwa-160 with ar9170 driver

[Normand Marion]

I finally found the solution. The problem was issued from my iptables where
I forgot to bring the change in the filtered devices . I just load the new
device wlan1 and everything is OK.

In conclusion using the package otusdriver-3.2.0-17.i386.rpm in
DWA-160_Rev_A_Driver_LINUX_3.2.0.17.zip works fine and easy as it is written
in the included documentation.



Thank you all for your help.
