 | In the open-source community, Atheros is known for not releasing appropriate documentation that would allow free software developers to write open source drivers to support their wireless devices without reverse-engineering[2], thus OSS support for Atheros hardware is rather limited. Although documentation is not available, there are still some completely free open-source drivers written via reverse-engineering techniques, for example, Reyk Floeter of the OpenBSD project has reversed-engineered the HAL-module of the driver, and provided a completely free driver to Atheros devices.
