Ah, yes, athn(4) man page states it pretty clear. I'm sorry.
I'm wondering why does Atheros AR9285 need binary firmware on OpenBSD?
According to this wikipedia article [1] it works on Linux and FreeBSD
with some free firmware. Is that in theory possible for OpenBSD to use
it too?

I've done it too, without FDE for now. My x200 feels good with coreboot
and OpenBSD, there are no random lockups that Scott mentioned.
