Atheros announced a new wifi chips, the AR6002. http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS5024332766.html 30 Oct. 2007 <snip> The Atheros AR6002 "Radio on Chip for Mobile" (ROCm) draws "near-zero" power when in standby, and 70 percent less power than previous WiFi technologies when active, the company claims. <snip>
<snip> The AR6002 is said to be software-compatible with the company's prior AR6001 (AR6K). A GPL-licensed Linux driver for that chip is available, and has already been adopted by the OpenMoko project. <snip> <snip> The AR6002 is currently sampling, and due for volume production in Q1, 2008. <snip> Perhaps, it's a good reason to considere replacement of AR6001 by AR6002 in futurs products... And already in GTA-02 if another hardware revision is needed and if the AR6002 has the same pinout as AR6001. Does anybody know if: a) it's another revision of GTA-02 already planned? b) are the Atheros chips's pinout identical?
