Nope, but my gut feeling says that this is a good reason to sell any
Atheros stocks.
Though I have to admit, that I did not follow the ATHR ticker so I have
no clue if it is indeed better or worse than before in an economic sense.

But politically motivated, I guess if you want your money to vote, I
would "down-vote" Atheros ahrm... Qualcomm now :))
- From an engineers perspective, these mergers are never good nor do they
leave engineers motivation to work on "cool" stuff such as open source
drivers. Hence quality suffers.
GUess it is time for our own software defined RX/TX solution.
