BTW. what about that wireless driver? Has it been posted on the Wiki anywhere?

Also, is the GPIO voltage on the Nano going to be 2.5V as you indicated earlier? In this case we might continue to use the existing (larger) Carambola, we need 3.3V to interface with the other components.

Finally, could you please clarify if this will replace the current Carambola (I hope not) or if both the Nano (AR9331-based) and the classic (RT3050-based) will be available at the same time?

Thanks again!

So it sounds like there will be an Atheros version of the carambola? Does it have 40 2mm pinouts like the current carambola?

What about the nano? What chip will it run on? The carambola is great, but for production, we'd prefer the FQN form factor. Can you give us some sneak peek (pix) at these devices?

You seem to want to avoid mentioning the nano. Is the nano dead?

Also, I'd like to comment on the 2mm 40-pin if I can. It's great for development, but not so much for production. If we ship it with those pins exposed like that, it'll invite novice users to try to poke at them and I'm sure there will be many instances where they can be shorted and ruin the board. Just my 2 cents.

That's what those "Warranty void" stickers are for. I'd rather make hardware that encourages people to play with it in ways not originally intended. It's how people learn you know. Don't tell me you've never broken any piece of hardware on your way to becoming an electronics engineer.

Yes, I've broken plenty of things, and I still do some times. But having those pins so exposed is asking for trouble. If you don't have those pins exposed, then it would take a more experience professional to hack into it. If it's too easy to do so, then any Joe Blow out there will try to stick a wire or two into it and it will increase the chance of shorting the circuit. Then he'll send it back claiming that it doesn't work.

You can put a warranty sticker on a cover and when the cover is removed, it's voided. But my application requires the case to be opened and circuit exposed. The only way to discourage them is to put glue on the pins, but it doesn't look very professional.

Will you have FQN versions of both Ralink and Atheros based boards? What is the time frame for availability?
