- jabl 11y agoIndeed. After much research I replaced my venerable wrt-54g with a tp-link, wrt-3600 or something like that, anyway due to the ath9k WiFi chip it's supported by Linux without any binary blobs. And of course I promptly replaced the stock firmware with openwrt. Sad if this is going away..

This support went away because people were abusing it running their routers on forbidden bands at higher than allow transmission levels. The vendors are doing what they can easily do now and it's block the firmware modification since they can't replace the baseband/wifi cards as easily.
- wyager 11y agoHow many people do you actually think were doing this? It's not a common enough problem that it's worth killing open router software. If the FCC wasn't planning to stomp on router manufacturers, they wouldn't be doing this. Make no mistake, it is the government killing innovation here.
