Next Ubuntu release will include 802.11n support

I downloaded yesterday the ubuntu kernel source tarball to see which driver, the next ubuntu release will include, and I noticed with pleasure they plan to include linux 2.6.27. Although not officially released yet, 2.6.27 will included ath9k, a driver written by Atheros to support their last 802.11n chipset.
The forthcoming kernel will also include the ath9k driver, wich is a completely opensource driver for older Atheros chipsets, without the binary blob, and it means we will be able to include much more from Atheros in libera.cc
