No Longer Wireless-less
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most important hold-outs was the wifi chipset vendor Atheros. This
| was actually quite serious, because good wireless support is one of the first
| things that general users look for. Indeed, wifi functionality has long been
| a key test for portables running GNU/Linux – one that many big names have
| failed.

The next big things in wireless

| But as Google and its partners talk up Android, there's another open mobile
| platform that will be making a splash at the show. Earlier this week, the
| Limo Foundation, a global consortium of mobile carriers, chipmakers, and
| handset manufacturers developing cell phone technology based on Linux, said
| it will make its application programming interface available in March. Next
| week, the group is expected to announce some new members to the consortium,
| as it becomes the dominant open-source Linux platform for mobile phones.
| Several industry consortia are dedicated to putting open-source software onto
| handsets. But it looks like groups are starting to rally behind Limo as it
| pushes forward.

The power of open spectrum
,----[ Quote ]
| When the history of this era is written, it will be seen that one of the
| biggest bi-partisan mistakes was to treat spectrum as property rather than a
| commons.
|
| Billions have been earned off the spectrum, first by the government, then by
| those who won the auctions. But the spectrum has been under-utilized and it
| has been over-priced.

Wireless Software for Linux Cleared of Legal Uncertainty by SFLC
,----[ Quote ]
| After performing the audit, SFLC concluded that OpenHAL does not infringe
| copyrights held by Atheros. As a result, OpenHAL development can now continue
| safely, unencumbered by legal uncertainty so long as the OpenHAL developers
| continue their work in isolation from Atheros' proprietary code.

| "We believe that this outcome will clear the way for eventual acceptance of a
| new wireless driver into the Linux kernel," said John Linville, the Linux
| kernel maintainer for wireless networking.
