Summary: Review Request: zd1211-firmware - Firmware for wireless devices based on zd1211 chipset https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221675 ------- Additional Comments From ericm24x7@xxxxxxxxx 2007-03-22 20:44 EST ------- (In reply to comment #12) > From: > https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2007-February/msg00292.html > The package shouldn't be concerned by this licence field > Redistributable, no modification permitted > (since this is a GPL firmware) > > The question are still: > - Does it is usefull to have a -devel package > - Do users that uses zd1211rw or zd1211 softmac drivers (already in vanilla) > or zd1211-mac80211 (since kernel 2.6.21rc1 and fedora 7 test), are My understanding from zd1211-devs mail list (https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/zd1211-devs): * zd1211 - vendor supplied driver under GPL, not in active development * zd1211rw - base on ieee80211/softmac stack and very limited capabilities. ieee80211/softmac development no longer active, moving toward mac80211 * zd1211rw-mac80211 - provide much fuller features and capabilities - all active development is focus on this stack now. - my test: basic functions very functional and stable under x86_64 * Since many small size firmwares are often modified and patched directly from hex as opposed to recompilation from sources, I think this meet the requirement of: "preferred form for modification". Maybe "acceptable form of modification" rather than "preferred". * so will the latest zd1211rw-mac80211 firmware be included in the latest fc7 development build? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
