We have received notice from the Atheros Alien Reverse Engineering Division (AARED) that we have given away too much information by opening up our drivers, furthermore our batch of newly arrived organic-based wireless technology at AARED is far too advanced and current wireless research cannot explain our achieved max thoughput figures which violate The Shannon Theorem [1]. The AARED also fears that the FOSS community will start creating communication portals to parallel universes with our hardware[2], a feature which is theoretically possible with our latest organic-based wireless technology, but unfortunately cannot be allowed due to regulatory consideration near the Council Chambers of Zion [3]. We may be able to address the communication portal regulatory considerations through CRDA [4] and for this we do ask for you advice, but please be aware that we already are facing hard questions from the NSA, specifically from Agent Smith [5]. The NSA ultimately fears that the alien community we have reversed engineered their wireless technology from may be watching us and may soon start sending hostile ships to earth for retribution, these concerns are coming directly from The Architect [6].
