Hmm, I wonder if there is a non-free binary blob firmware in there somewhere. If not, awesome, merge that into mainline ASAP.

According to the README, yes there is firmware:

No worse than the Intel wireless situation I guess. I wonder if they will be willing to implement advanced features (like AP mode) in their firmware that Intel refuses to implement. Doesn't look like the firmware has reached its intended destination yet:

It sounds like Linux has no control over the regulatory stuff, hmm.
