Well, it used to, but the latest rev of the CWP-854 evidently uses a<BR>
Ralink chip that requires a firmware blob. As I understand it, the<BR>
Atheros HAL was released under a free license a few days after I<BR>
wrote the text above, so maybe we can change back to an Atheros-<BR>
based wireless card some day (or put the server somewhere that it<BR>
can be plugged in to a wire). Switching back to an Atheros card<BR>
will require purchasing a new wireless card because the one balrog<BR>
was using is no longer functional.<BR>
