Yep! Its both 2.4ghz and 5ghz, but only 802.11n which is fine. Certainly not the newest wifi standard, but 802.11n is plenty fast.

dmesg | grep ath:

I confirmed by checking wpa_cli scan_results and I saw my 5ghz-only ssid (not listing the output here for privacy)

Its an AR9462 which I purchased off thinkpenguin
