this is about all I can find on relevance at the moment...

It does make me very angry that the devs of debian are that stupid that
they don't include the freedom version of the atheros, because if you
have to include the non-free part, what is the point of using a free
software friendly version usb wifi adapter? yeah... no point at all
really.  I also wish idiots wouldn't come cropping up to pretend that I
am somehow an idiot who doesn't know what I am talking about...

facepalm...
