Wrong. While we move away from the proprietary HAL, we don't move away
from Atheros. As stated in the announcement we're in contact with Atheros
to win their support for ath5k and the CRDA-related work.
I could be wrong here):
Because of the FCC rules that seem to require device vendors (that's not
Atheros, but Atheros customers such as D-Link, Netgear and others) to make
sure that their products can't be "abused" to easily break the regulatory
rules, otherwise these products won't get FCC certification and thus are
not allowed to be sold in FCC-regulated countries. Other regulatory bodies
have similar rules, afaik.
