Hiya.

Something good has happened on the OpenBSD front - they managed to
convince Atmel to change their firmware license, so it's now legal to
include the firmware needed to get their Atmel wireless USB adapters
working into a kernel. Furthermore, there's now an OpenBSD driver for
these devices.

Is anyone working on porting these drivers? As far as I can see
they're using the net80211 framework, so porting shouldn't be a big
problem - at least, not from a networking point of view. If not, I'll
happily volunteer for the job.
