5G ireless on Acer Aspire E-15

[Dave Horsfall <dave@horsfall.org>]

Having just upgraded my broadband connection so that 5G is now supported, 
how do I get Debian 8 to support it?  My 7-year-old MacBook sees it, and 
connects...  Is a firmware upgrade required or something?

I found this with "dmesg":

[    7.168029] ath: phy0: WB335 2-ANT card detected
[    7.168040] ath: phy0: Set BT/WLAN RX diversity capability

[    7.410812] ieee80211 phy0: Atheros AR9565 Rev:1 mem=0xffffc90004a00000, irq=36

Thanks.
