Hello, Possibly some of you will have read the news about "Hijacking a Macbook in 60 Seconds or Less"[1]. At this time I was searching a wireless card for my server and I wonder how this can affect to the combination FreeBSD+ath(4).
The ath_hal page states that FreeBSD use a binary driver and I think it is located in this file[2]. Unlike OpenBSD which affirms that they have reverse engineering[3] the drivers would I be at risk if I use atheros based wireless cards with FreeBSD? all comments will be appreciated. Thank you.
