Atheros Releases 802.11n Linux Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| Last September we reported that MadWiFi was abandoning their proprietary HAL
| and really the driver itself for that matter. The developers behind the
| popular MadWiFi Linux driver were ceasing work on it in favor of starting up
| a new driver called ath5k using OpenHAL. Two of the key developers were also
| hired by Atheros, the wireless chipset company itself. Through these recent
| improvements, Atheros has went from a company being criticized for their lack
| of Linux support to one with impecable possibilities.

linux.conf.au: Look Tux, no wires
,----[ Quote ]
| Hence, it was not surprising that he opted to study computer science when he
| made his way to university. Two years after the GNU/Linux operating system
| was first released, Hawtin started messing around with it. He taught himself
| the C programming language and started porting applications to this new toy.
|
| In 1994, at the age of 20, he founded the first of a couple of Linux user
| groups - the University of Queensland Linux Users Group. Two years later, he
| repeated the act in Toowomba and the Toowomba Home Unix Users Group was born.
| In between he wrote his own interpreter and then a compiler and provided
| support on IRC and newsgroups, also doing some work on the X Windows code.
