What would work in theory is to use an ath9k_htc usb dongle through USB host since it's one of the very few chips known to have a free firmware. Then you'd need to build the module in the replicant kernel and make it be the default wifi module instead of the bcm one. That involves rebuilding an image of Replicant. There is no way you're going to succeed at replacing the chip that is already there by ath9k_htc. -- 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
