I'm having trouble finding information. The opened atheros firmware is only for the AR7010 and AR9271 USB dongles if I understand correctly? The other thing that was opened are the C headers including the register definitions for a subset of the AR9300 chipset, but it would still require implementing the firmware to be useful to linux-libre?
