BigFoot Killer Wireless-N 1301 drivers

Hi,
I have Dell E6430 with Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 card, but i have problems with it. Link quality is very poor and i  can't connect to some networks. Tried 11n_disable=1 but it's only 802.11G. I' ve searched for something with Atheros chip and found BigFoot Killer Wireless-N 1301. Will it works without any problems ? It require ath9k driver or other ?

You should look for list of devices supported by driver and then look for model that fits your needs, not asking if certain device works with that driver.

See here for guideline.
If you post

lspci -vnn |grep -i wireless

we may do more accurate response.

I found earlier that this is an AR9380 chipset and it should work with ath9k driver, but is there any who have this wifi adapter and can tell for sure if this works ?

TheSaint, now i have intel centrino adapter, i haven't bought killer 1103 yet

In a reformulated description you wanting to change your miniPCIe card with that you mention (dual band), but you aren't sure to find the driver in linux.
here's a review.
One more site you may consult to do mix&match for you new card.

Thanks for review, i see bigfoot killer has similar performance to intel 6300. For now i think it should work so i'll buy the Wireless-N 1103.
