commonly found in Linux The driver is coverred by the following copyright
and software license. ... license text ... 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,
Viren Pathare Intellectual Property Licensing Manager Agere
