Shared modules

Atheros drivers tend to follow a lineage of hardware families and as they progress pick things up from one family or another and sometimes keep things the same. So hardware or EEPROM layouts can share certain characteristics and the same code can be reused through different hardware families.

Shared module for Atheros 802.11 drivers:

IRC

For support and development for all drivers we use the #linux-wireless IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.

PCI / PCI-E / AHB Drivers

Technology	Upstream driver
802.11abg	ath5k
802.11abgn	ath9k
802.11ac	ath10k
802.11ad	wil6210

USB Drivers

Technology	Legacy driver	Upstream driver
802.11b	None	zd1201
802.11bg	zd1211	zd1211rw
802.11abg	None	ar5523
802.11abgn	otus / ar9170	carl9170 (carl9170.fw GPLv2)
802.11abgn	None	ath9k_htc

Mobile (SDIO & CF)

Licensing

To help other FOSS Operating Systems, when possible, Atheros licenses their device drivers source code under a permissive license. Atheros picked the ISC License due to historical reasons, mainly that of the ath5k developers also choosing it to help share code between Linux and OpenBSD. Atheros follows this tradition to further assist not only OpenBSD but also other FOSS Operating Systems. There are a few exceptions to using the ISC license on Atheros drivers, when in doubt consult the header of the file for the respective license of the file.

As far as firmware is concerned Atheros does try to open source firmware when possible with the first release being that of ar9170.fw. When not possible (lack of resources mainly) we do try to work with the community to see if this can be done through side community work, and only if not possible at all do we release firmware as binary with a friendly standard redistributable license.
