Atmel Corporation (NASDAQATML) is a manufacturer of semiconductors, founded in 1984. Its focus is on system-level solutions built around flash microcontrollers. Its products include microcontrollers (including 8051 derivatives and AT91SAM and AT91CAP ARM-based micros), and its own Atmel AVR and AVR32 architectures, radio frequency (RF) devices, EEPROM and Flash memory devices (including DataFlash-based memory), and a number of application-specific products. Atmel supplies its devices as standard products, ASICs, or ASSPs depending on the requirements of its customers. In some cases it is able to offer system on chip solutions.

Controversy

The former chairman and CEO, George Perlegos, was terminated after an eight-month investigation into theft by Atmel's travel manager. The Board of Directors accused him and his brother Gust (an executive vice president of the company) of spending US$235,000 of the company's money on airplane tickets for themselves and their immediate families.[1] However, the Delaware Chancery Court expressed its "discomfort with the thoroughness and fairness of the investigation and with the decisions."


In August of 2006, Perlegos called a meeting to replace five of the existing board of directors, which the Board of Directors attempted to cancel. In March of 2007, the Delaware Chancery Court ruled that the shareholder meeting must proceed. This action was completed before Perlegos was dismissed as a board member, but after he was removed as president. The action resulted in a special shareholder vote.[2] The meeting was held on May 18. According to the certified vote count, one of the directors proposed by Perlegos garnered just under 30% of the votes, short of the 50% needed.[3]

Atmel AT76C5XXx Wireless LAN Driver : News (786 words)
This affects probably half the Atmel AT76C503A-based USB devices that we know of.
It is recommended that users of devices that contain Intersil 3861 and 3863 radios continue to use the 20021209 snapshot, which is off Joerg's 'patches-07-12-2002' branch.
Atmel has a new and "improved by far" version of the driver in testing which Stavros is working on, so hopefully this will be released in the near future.
