It's a ported driver from OpenBSD. it's in https://github.com/erikarn/otus/ . The build installs both the newer carl9170 firmware for when I migrate to using that, and the firmware the openbsd driver supports (otus-init, otus-main.) It's .. very old firmware. I plan on migrating to more recent firmware once I get it to build and run. Meanwhile, 11bg seems quite stable. I don't have an 11a NIC so I can't test it and I won't be doing 11n support until I get updated firmware. It however is very much a draft 11n device, so it likely won't do all the shiny 11n things anyway. I'd appreciate some testing and feedback! Thanks! -adrian
