In my Clevo Laptop with @novacustom@mastodon.online and @3mdeb@fosstodon.org Coreboot firmware I now have replaced another proprietary part!

The Intel AX200 previously installed waits for a new use case, while I swapped in the Qualcomm Atheros Y8512 pci-e Wifi card, which has #blobfree drivers and thus runs fully on Linux, not just on some #nonfree kernels (that basically break the open source philosophy by including proprietary code in the single most critical root binary on your system)

It works great, just downloaded a Firefox release. zip over wifi without a single stutter!

OpenWiFi implemented a WiFi 6 (802.11ax) network card with FPGA, and its driver. Currently only available for subscription, but will be open source in future.
