Thank you!
As of May 20, which of the following wlan hardware (wifi chipset) have open-source "firmware" or does NOT require non-free firmware to function ?
- Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 (Home Hub 5 Type A)
- Qualcomm Atheros QCA9980 (Netgear D7800)
- Qualcomm Atheros QCA9984 (Netgear R7800)
- Lantiq XWAY WAVE300 (td-w9980, td-w8980)
- Atheros AR9223 (Netgear WNDR3800)
- Atheros AR9381 (td-w8970)
May be some of them contain firmware on the device (wlan hardware) at all times, some require non-free firmware which will be handed by a free driver, some require free "firmware" which will be handed by a free driver (like AR9223 maybe - not sure).
Can you suggest a list which contains these kind of data, like a list of completely free wifi chipsets (FOSS driver+FOSS firmware) ? Is there any ?
