WiFi USB TL-WN721N does not work

[parslej]

Quote:TL-WN721N (ath9k_htc device with htc_9271.fw file from http://linuxwireless.org/download/htc_fw..._9271.fw); needs powered USB Hub (B) | works OOTB with Wheezy Raspbian (2012-08-16) connected directly to raspberry pi (B) and AP functionality tested with hostapd.

How to understand that? is that mean that it will work only with powered hub? or can work without it, conected directly to PI with Wheezy ?

Apologs but I'm not native English and not sure how to understand that (also I'm confused it is working with Raspbmc & OpenElec - not mentioned here...)

Thanks for helping!
