Atheros ar9170 firmware
-----------------------
This is the firmware for the Atheros ar9170 802.11n devices.
To build the firmware you will need an SH-2 toolchain:
1) You can build your own toolchain:
make -C toolchain
but be aware that this will take some time and requires
about 1.2 GiB disk space.
2) You can download an SH-2 gcc toolchain from KPIT:

The resulting firmware, ar9170.fw, can be used with the ar9170 Linux
driver through the standard request_firmware() API. You will need
ar9170 with 1-stage firmware support (this was recently added to
wireless-testing).
After getting a toolchain, simply build and install:
make
sudo make install
