51 | The following statement from Agere clarifies the status of the firmware | |
52 | ||
53 | --- | |
54 | I would like to confirm that the two drivers; Linux LKM Wireless Driver | |
55 | Source Code, Version 7.18 and Linux LKM Wireless Driver Source Code, | |
56 | Version 7.22 comply with Open Source BSD License. Therefore the source | |
57 | code can be distributed in unmodified or modified form consistent with | |
58 | the terms of the license. | |
59 | ||
60 | The Linux driver architecture was based on two modules, the MSF (Module | |
61 | specific functions) and the HCF (Hardware Control Functions). Included | |
62 | in the HCF is run-time firmware (binary format) which is downloaded into | |
63 | the RAM of the Hermes 1/2/2.5 WMAC. | |
64 | ||
65 | This hex coded firmware is not based on any open source software and | |
66 | hence it is not subject to any Open Source License. The firmware was | |
67 | developed by Agere and runs on the DISC processor embedded within the | |
68 | Hermes 1/2/2.5 Wireless MAC devices. | |
69 | ||
70 | Hope this helps. | |
71 | ||
72 | Sincerely, | |
