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.
