Hi
Not Fedora specific but considering that this has been a long standing
issue, we couldn't solve immediately without non-free bits, this is very
good news.

"When kernel developers talk about problematic hardware vendors, Atheros
often appears near the top of their lists. So this announcement from Luis
Rodriguez, a developer of the reverse-engineered ath5k driver, is
intriguing: "I write to you to inform you that I have decided to join
Atheros as a full time employee, as a Software Engineer, to help them with
their goals and mission to get every device of Atheros supported upstream in
the Linux kernel." What will come of this remains to be seen, but if it
truly signals a change of heart at Atheros (and isn't a late April 1
posting), it is a most welcome development. "
Kudos to him!
Someday, this type of bug[1] will be thing of past. :)
