gnujoshua writes "You may recall that last Fall, the LulzBot AO-100 3D printer was awarded the use of the Free Software Foundation's Respects Your Freedom certification mark. Today, the FSF announced certification of the ThinkPenguin TPE-N150USB, Wireless N USB Adapter, which uses the Atheros ARAR9271 chip. The FSF's RYF certification requirements are focused on the software (not the hardware designs) of a product, which in this case was primarily the device firmware and ath9k-htc module in the Linux-libre kernel. (Disclosure: I work for the FSF.)

The TPE-N150USB uses an Atheros AR9271 chipset
"We are pleased to add Jack to our board of directors," said Tyson Tuttle, president and chief executive officer of Silicon Labs. "His experience building Atheros's business will be particularly valuable as we continue to focus on driving high-quality revenue growth and market leadership."
"We're trying to change everyone's view of that, because our view is that the next big revolution..."
