Oh, the 4965 generation. I vaguely remember the days of the Linux driver development, there were discussions to open-source the binary blob firmware.

IIRC this was ultimately abandoned due to the possibility of turning the 4965 into a pretty sophisticated SDR. What a shame!

Reminds me of why older Broadcom wireless chips don't have official open source drivers.
