Dear Intellon Restricted Stock Unit Holder:

As you may be aware, on September 8, 2009, Intellon Corporation (“ Intellon ”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”) by and among Atheros Communications, Inc. (“ Atheros ”), Iceman Acquisition One Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atheros, and Iceman Acquisition Two L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atheros, pursuant to which Atheros will acquire Intellon in a stock and cash transaction (the “ Merger ”). Intellon will be holding a special meeting of its stockholders on December 11, 2009 (the “ Intellon Stockholder Meeting ”) to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the Merger. It is currently anticipated that the Merger will be completed in December 2009, or as soon as practicable following the Intellon Stockholder Meeting (the “ Effective Time ”), assuming Intellon obtains a sufficient number of votes to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and to approve the Merger. You should note, however, that there can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated. In connection with the proposed transaction, Atheros filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “ Atheros Registration Statement ”) containing a proxy statement/prospectus and other documents concerning the proposed transaction with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”). Intellon has filed a definitive proxy statement with the SEC (the “ Intellon Proxy Statement ”) in connection with the Intellon Stockholder Meeting. You may obtain a free copy of the Merger Agreement, the Intellon Proxy Statement, the Atheros Registration Statement, and other documents filed by Atheros and Intellon with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. The Merger Agreement, the Intellon Proxy Statement, the Atheros Registration Statement and other documents filed with the SEC may also be obtained for free by contacting Intellon Investor Relations by e-mail at suzanne@blueshirtgroup.com or by telephone at (415) 217-7722. You are encouraged to read the Merger Agreement, the Intellon Proxy Statement and the Atheros Registration Statement in their entirety .

As you currently have restricted stock units that were granted to you under Intellon’s equity incentive plans and agreements (the “ Company RSUs ”), we are providing this notice to you of the effect on your Company RSUs under the Merger and the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement. At the Effective Time of the Merger, each outstanding Company RSU will be converted into the right to receive, upon vesting, 0.267 shares of Atheros common stock. Atheros will provide you with information regarding a new restricted stock unit agreement(s) as soon as practicable following the Effective Time. Other than the number of shares issuable upon the vesting of the Company RSU, all other terms of your Company RSU will continue to apply after conversion, including any provision for the acceleration of vesting.

If the Merger is not consummated for any reason, your Company RSUs will remain in effect pursuant to their terms and no action will be taken by Intellon.

If you have any questions, please call Denise Melone at (352) 237-7416 ext. 1186. Thank you for your efforts in helping build a successful company.
