We need to know who and how select the customers. Can the open source community
be included in this category? Something hints me what it never happens. :(

Sorry, but which firmware are you referring
No problem... We only need to disassemble a bunch of xtensa code and hack it
whithout any support as always, as before. :)

You need to be a big customer that requires that QCA open up the
firmware to open source, much like what's driven ath9k support.
I heartily encourage this.

If it's just money, maybe they could name their price and see
if someone will pay it :)

You may end up having to re-write firmware, and perhaps significantly.
That is not likely to be very easy

Hi Adrian,
thanks for the response. That's bad news.
I thought about using the Pi's as they have much more RAM and CPU power
than normal consumer access points have - which seems to be the limiting
factor of clients on those devices. And as we are a non profit

The newer, higher end tplink/dlink devices that use AR9344 ship with
128mb RAM and a 500MHz mips74k core.
I think that's enough for your needs.

The ath9k_htc stuff isn't ready to do what you want. And even if it
was, the performance would be sub-par compared to the SoC designs.
There's just not a lot of RAM on these things; even if we do
eventually push almost everything into the driver instead of firmware,
there's still only a limited
