Actually, not knowing enough about drivers to be sure, I think my
particular device is fully Free!

The .c file for my particular driver says:

* This driver contains code specific to Atmel AT76C505A (USB wireless
802.11)
* devices which use radio chips from RF Micro Devices (RFMD).  Almost
* all of the actual driver is handled by the generic at76c503.c module,
this
* file just registers for the USB ids and passes the correct firmware to
* at76c503.

Since I have a 505 I seem to be a happy camper! :)

It _was_ very hard to find a device like this, I returned about 3 cards
before finding one that seems to be fully Free.
