Very old Atheros chipsets have some free firmware, I think. If you can find them, those using Ath9k now have a free firmware and Atheros AR9271 Essentially almost none now - which is why ThinkPenguin are so expensive. Oh and as someone pointed out, you still need *a* blob to deal with regulatory stuff, esp. in USA. See also one of the very valid reasons why we're talking about firmware over in debian-vote at the moment. All the very best, as ever, Andy Cater
