Very old Atheros chipsets have some free firmware, I think.
If you can find them, those using Ath9k now have a free firmware and Atheros
AR9271
Essentially almost none now - which is why ThinkPenguin are so expensive. Oh
and as someone pointed out, you still need *a* blob to deal with regulatory
stuff, esp. in USA.
See also one of the very valid reasons why we're talking about firmware over
in debian-vote at the moment.
All the very best, as ever,
