To help other FOSS Operating Systems, when possible, Atheros licenses their device drivers source code under a permissive license. Atheros picked the due to historical reasons, mainly that of the ath5k developers also choosing it to help share code between Linux and OpenBSD. Atheros follows this tradition to further assist not only OpenBSD but also other FOSS Operating Systems. There are a few exceptions to using the ISC license on Atheros drivers, when in doubt consult the header of the file for the respective license of the file. As far as firmware is concerned Atheros does try to open source firmware when possible with the first release being that of. When not possible (lack of resources mainly) we do try to work with the community to see if this can be done through side community work, and only if not possible at all do we release firmware as binary with a friendly standard redistributable license.

I just got a System76 laptop that came with a QualComm Atheros Killer E2400 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and I've installed Fedora 23 (kernel 4.3). Unfortunately, the OS doesn't seem to wake up the NIC unit.
A little more Google mining and I found this page: I added /etc/sysconfig/modules/alx.modules with these two lines: modprobe alx echo 1969 e0a1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/alx/new_id and it seems to be working fine now. My only concern is whether it will continue working on the next kernel update or even be necessary as I would think this module would be loaded automatically when the OS starts up. Regardless, I seem to have a workable solution right now. Thanks for the tip and sending me into Google mode.
