| 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, | ||
