Bluetooth + Wi-Fi Hardware Specs

[RubisDrake]

Sorry if a thread like this already exists, but can I please know exactly what Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chipset is going to be used on the Pyra. Will it be able to run without proprietary firmware and drivers?

Thanks a lot for any answers.

The TI WL18xx used in the Pyra provides WiFI and Bluetooth, has Mainline Drivers but Closed Firmware.

Hmm... Well it looks like all the source files say the license for wlcore and wl18xx is GPL. Looks fine to me. Alright, cool!
