Bear in mind that certain countries (e.g. the USA) impose limits on the
devices such that the actual radio driver MUST be a binary blob.
A lot of people tend to get up in arms about this along the lines of
"the manufacturer is a dirty liar. They /say/ they're FOSS-friendly, but
they have these blobs and aren't providing the source!". Have seen a
number of suggestions here, which may all be stellar -- but then be cut
off at the knees if you're in the US, or a country that imposes similar
regulations.
