It's still being maintaind inside Atheros but AFAIK, that work would
only be useful for us if we could also upgrade the firmware. At the
moment, we can't (not even inside Openmoko). It's uncertain if we
will ever be able to do so in the future.

Atheros have indicated that they're working on a MAC80211-based
driver, but it's not certain if it will also be available for the
AR6001.

Not everything we do is motivated by some sinister motives ;-)
I actually like mail much better than fragile Web interfaces, so
you won't see me drag a discussion into trac :)
