My disappointment is fundamentally because of these things needing to
be reverse engineered outside Atheros, *despite* you guys being on
this list.

It is in a way deeply disrespectful, but my guess is rather that some
legal department really doesn't dare let developers do open source
"for real."

Don't worry. From what I read Intel is doing worse. They communicate
more, but with no significant content. They seem to have lots of
serious problems.

Another don't worry. I'm about to switch to a new computer. I'll get
a shiny new AR9380 for it, and give ath9k another go on what must be
a less broken PCI bus than the one in my current system.

I am particularly interested in the adaptive power management behavior.
I can't help to maintain small hope, but on the other hand I do not
dare to assume that it will work in Linux, and the card is too new for
FreeBSD; still much reverse engineering of older ones that remains.

Did I mention how I hate that it seems to *always* be neccessary to
reverse engineer things to make them work halfway decently?

Last don't worry. Rant ends here. :)


Kind regards

//Peter
