From karllinuxtest.relton at ntlworld.com Sat May 9 16:31:20 2009 From: karllinuxtest.relton at ntlworld.com (Karl Relton) Date: Sat, 09 May 2009 21:31:20 +0100 Subject: [lwlan-devel] Can we redistribute ru010803.hex in linux-firmware.git? Message-ID: <1241901080.6563.20.camel@localhost> Dear friends The mainstream 'staging' version of this driver (which is usb only) will hopefully have firmware upload support using request_firmware() in the driver from 2.6.31. A working version with this is in Greg-KH's git tree right now, queued up to flow into mainstream I would imagine once 2.6.30 is out the door. Would it be possible to re-distribute the usb ram secondary firmware file ru010803.hex in linux-firmware.git, which is the official repository for collecting firmware images? To have it included requires some kind of authorisation from someone who can give it with reasonable authority. We would include the text that is currently in src/prism2/README.firmware which would find its way into the WHENCE file in the mainstream tree firmware directory. Can the maintainer of linux-wlan-ng give that authorisation please? Best regards Karl From mark at linux-wlan.com Sat May 9 20:15:01 2009 From: mark at linux-wlan.com (Mark S.
