If I recall correctly, the ar9170 devices with the carl9170 driver use
an open source firmware and are 802.11n capable.

There was also an effort to produce a open source firmware for
broadcom devices, but I'm not sure what it's status is and what
progress they made.

Also, there's a GSoC project to open source the firmware for the USB
ath9k devices, (ath9k_htc) but I don't think any progress has been
made.

Thanks,
