Resend with plain text for image links....

I have one of these GA10H-A33 and tore it apart. They used an uncommon
wifi/BT chip - RDA5990P. Took mine apart since the wifi didn't work worth
two cents.

Is that unpopulated pad next to the RSA5990P an option to use an Ampak
module? I am looking for a A33 PCBA where I can mount a 5Ghz wi-fi module.

Potential driver:
https://github.com/linuxium/3188-SRC-ORIG/tree/master/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rda5990

(Code implies GPL but is missing copyright / license notices, might be
for an older part.)

On an unrelated note, is MediaTek buying up every last small
manufacturer of WiFi parts?

RDA was bought by Spreadtrum

Odd: the driver I linked to has lots of MediaTek email addresses in
author fields, hence me thinking RDA had been bought by them.

Thanks,
