I don't know if notting was taking care of this? I proposed to intiate contact, but i'm not well aware about what to ask in such cases... If someone wants to contact them, here is the link! http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Contact.html They claims to support the linux community - they should answears ! quote : "Ralink is very active in the Linux community," from http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html Nicolas (kwizart)
I think it would be a good idea to create a standard letter for this and then mail (maybe even snail mail) it to ralink and to others listed on this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FirmWare Regards, Hans -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
