It’s fun when you find the firmware on periferals like this. Did you know the processor in the b43 network cards use this really weird architecture developed by the company that made the backplane? It also doesn’t actually handle the radio baseband, that’s done entirely in hardware (If my reading of the firmware is correct.) Which makes me wonder why having more open source WiFi card firmware is rare, I guess it still handles calibration and some other things that you could use to intentionally make the card misbehave but it’s a lot more limited than I expected.
