I doubt it, after beta, hardly anything gets in, even though it looks
promising. :)

I did the following to download the firmware:
- Unplugged my usb stick (TP-LINK TL-WN821N)
- Executed:
cd /lib/firmware/
sudo wget
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/chr/carl9170/fw/1.8.8.2/carl9170-1.fw

I don't think the following step is necessary, but I also updated to the
latest bleeding edge driver. It has to be extracted and compiled. Follow the
details in README file:
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2

You need build-essential debian package installed before you proceed.

More or less, after extracting the archive file, the commands I used
were:

./scripts/driver-select
./scripts/driver-select atheros

make

sudo make install

sudo make unload

sudo modprobe carl9170
