In my opinion the most important is that the device is usable with an upstream driver so that anyone can start using the driver (if they have the hardware). > There is an option to start Quantenna device from internal flash > memory, no external binary files involved.

Do all the publically available hardware contain the firmware in internal flash (flashed in the factory)? Or is this something which must be installed separately for each board's internal flash by the user? BTW, the original mail with the firmware image didn't make it to the list, I guess it was too big? It would be good if you could post the license separately so that people can see it. -- Kalle Valo
