I seriously doubt it is that easy or even doable and my expectations of ever seeing a free firmware for these chips are close to zero. On the other hand, ath9k_htc has a fully free firmware, released by Qualcomm, so it's the only WiFi chip that could permit having a free wifi firmware on an embedded device (read: phone, tablet, SBC). -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution Website: http://www.replicant.us Wiki/Tracker: http://redmine.replicant.us _______________________________________________ Replicant mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
