Dear Mr. Amon,
亲爱的阿蒙先生，
In 2008, your company's predecessor Atheros gave the GNU/Linux community a valuable gift. That year saw the first release of ath9k, a suite of Linux kernel drivers with complete source code for Atheros 802.11 chipsets.
2008年，贵公司的前任Atheros为GNU/Linux社区提供了宝贵的礼物。那一年，ATH9K首次发行了ATH9K，这是一套Linux内核驱动程序，其中包含Atheros 802.11芯片组的完整源代码。
ath9k was the first entirely free (as in freedom) Wi-Fi driver for the Linux kernel. At last, it was possible for GNU/Linux users to connect to wireless networks without having to struggle with proprietary drivers or binary-only firmware.
ATH9K是Linux内核的第一个完全自由的Wi-Fi驱动程序。最后，GNU/Linux用户可以不必与专有驱动程序或仅二进制固件挣扎的无线网络连接。
Rightfully, Atheros won the goodwill and fierce loyalty of GNU/Linux users. Its chipsets gained an enviable reputation for compatibility and quality. For many years, ath9k and ath9k_htc-supported hardware has been the go-to recommendation for GNU/Linux users, new and experienced alike.
理所当然地，Atheros赢得了GNU/Linux用户的善意和忠诚。它的芯片组在兼容性和质量方面赢得了令人羡慕的声誉。多年来，ATH9K和ATH9K_HTC支持的硬件一直是GNU/Linux用户的首选，新的和经验丰富。
Although your company still deserves our gratitude, times have moved on. As new technologies made them obsolete, the chipsets supported by fully-free drivers have been discontinued; used hardware becomes more scarce year after year.
尽管您的公司仍然值得我们感激，但时代仍在继续。随着新技术使它们过时，已停止了由完全免费的驾驶员支撑的芯片组。使用的硬件年复一年变得更加稀缺。
Today, there are no fully-free Linux kernel drivers for contemporary Wi-Fi hardware. As Atheros's successor, Qualcomm is in a unique position to once again win the devotion of GNU/Linux users. We, the undersigned, ask Qualcomm to release fully-free drivers for its in-production Wi-Fi chipsets, just as Atheros did 16 years ago.
如今，当代Wi-Fi硬件没有完全免费的Linux内核驱动程序。作为Atheros的继任者，高通处于独特的位置，可以再次赢得GNU/Linux用户的奉献精神。我们，签名的，要求高通公司与Atheros 16年前一样，为其生产的Wi-Fi芯片组释放完全免费的驾驶员。
