Re: [Trisquel-users] :) New free software friendly USB N adapter getting closer

[chris]

The code is already been written by Atheros and is available as a non-free  
binary. This is not acceptable which is why we have been working to get it  
free'd. Once it is free the community can properly support it. Bugs which  
crop up can be fixed, improvements made, and so on. There is no longer a  
reliance on Atheros to do any of this. Atheros has agreed to release it if  
someone will clean up the code under an NDA. There are a number of outside  
developers now working on that. There is also a large group of Linux kernel  
developers that can develop it further and maintain it thereafter.
