Who you should really send your feedback to however is Atheros who can't be bothered to offer a Linux driver at all let alone an open source one. Better yet give the FCC or your local radio frequency regulator an earful on their draconian policies which stifle open source. Atheros cannot however defer responsibility to regulatory agencies when Intel has managed to implement their own open source drivers. Though these admittedly use dubious firmware blobs, it could be argued that this is better than running mystery code on your actual CPU. ]]> Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:28:46 +0000 Wed, 28 May 2008 08:25:06 +0000 Thu, 31 Jul 2008 11:26:40 +0000
