Many people want this. When this has come up in the past, no one has
come forward with claims that they are working on an open source
driver for the Atheros chipset. A few people that have the source to
the windows drivers have tried to port it to FreeBSD. Even if they
were successful, the NDA they got the Windows drivers under would
barely let them acknowledge that they ported it to FreeBSD. So far as
I know, most of these sorts of efforts have dried up and blown away.
