The following statement from Agere clarifies the status of the firmware
|
|||
|
|||
---
|
|||
I would like to confirm that the two drivers; Linux LKM Wireless Driver
|
|||
Source Code, Version 7.18 and Linux LKM Wireless Driver Source Code,
|
|||
Version 7.22 comply with Open Source BSD License. Therefore the source
|
|||
code can be distributed in unmodified or modified form consistent with
|
|||
the terms of the license.
|
|||
|
|||
The Linux driver architecture was based on two modules, the MSF (Module
|
|||
specific functions) and the HCF (Hardware Control Functions). Included
|
|||
in the HCF is run-time firmware (binary format) which is downloaded into
|
|||
the RAM of the Hermes 1/2/2.5 WMAC.
|
|||
|
|||
This hex coded firmware is not based on any open source software and
|
|||
hence it is not subject to any Open Source License. The firmware was
|
|||
developed by Agere and runs on the DISC processor embedded within the
|
|||
Hermes 1/2/2.5 Wireless MAC devices.
|
|||
|
|||
Hope this helps.
|
|||
|
|||
Sincerely,
|
