For the record, Atheros is a subsidiary of Qualcomm. Edit: wrong preposition

  Yes, but Atheros was acquired by Qualcomm much later than the release of ath9k (2011 and 2008, respectively).

    True.

Yeah, but I don't know any blob-less driver for 802.11ac. Which is weird really. Why can't they make their firmware open?
