Hi, Paul told me you were researching how to get out of the box WiFi support in Replicant (This means that Replicant doesn't ship non-free firmware).
I don't know what you did on your side. On mine, I've started documenting the issue here: https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/WiFi I think ath9k claims need to be verified: -> Are all the chips really that big? -> Does it consume that much power? Was it ever measured? Maybe it also exist in mini-pcie formats: The mini-pcie connector also expects some pins to be the USB data pins (D+ and D-), so 3G modems are connected trough USB. I should write a mail about the implications of that on the gnu-linux-libre mailing list, for laptops. Also chips targeting the IOT market sounds promising, so they could be looked into. I've mentioned one on the wiki. Denis.
