Atheros
This page was created to address the lack of easily obtainable information about Atheros chipsets. It may not be entirely correct, but was taken from information on site. NOTE: this is not a list of supported chipsets. The list of supported chipsets can be found on the page. USB dongles are not supported, and will probably not be supported in the near future.

A list of Atheros' partners along with their products and chipsets can be found on the Atheros web site. The list seems to be missing some of the very latest products but serves as a handy reference for comparing products between manufacturers.
