Hmmm... so who is maintaining the driver now? If it will not be part of linuxwireless.org many more issues are expected. Is there any commitment by atheos to reach a working state? BTW: Why can't we all discuss this on the bug tracker? Is the policy of not allowing people to interact with pre-opened bugs is intentional? Thanks!
