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.
