Thought this may help with driver porting for Atheros N series chips, FOSS just released recently

Why, there is already an apple Atheros driver that supports 802.11n included in the OS.

 

Maybe you want to make a driver for a card that isn't supported by the apple driver, you would have to start with the source for an existing apple Atheros driver (good luck finding one), then using the FOSS code you could modify it to support your unsupported chipset but there is pretty much no way to port any linux driver over with ease without a major rewrite of the code.
