- shaky-carrousel 4y agoThe ath9k purists will have their drivers fixed while the people relying on closed source drivers will be ignored as the company decided to stop maintaining the driver. How... ironic?
- CameronNemo 4y agoYeah it is pretty crazy how no WiFi chipsets with open source firmware exist that operate on the 5 GHz band. And even the old WiFi 4 ath9k chips aren't really made anymore. If you want to use a fully open source WiFi stack, you max out at 150 Mbps!
