Re: N device with open source firmware

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I was not seeking to impugn the linux-wireless AR9170 support, just
looking to see what additional alternatives exist before starting a
major project that will require substantial firmware work. 

My complaints with respect to its "openness" regard Atheros.

I was hoping for a mini-PCI device. 
The AR9170 has open source firmware - but the hardware documentation is
proprietary.

I am not looking to spark a debate, just determine what options exist. 
And more options is better.
