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 _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
