As someone whose day job involves writing drivers for various wireless network devices, I've always maintained that the "we can't release code/specifications due to FCC regulations" excuse was utter BS.

Well, that's refreshing to hear. Perhaps this notion (and Atheros's change of heart) will dissuade other Wi-fi manufacturers from hiding behind that (non-)excuse.
