RE: I can't believe they didn't just open source their drivers before they closed the doors. The Linuxant code package has two parts: 1) a precompiled/encrypted component which includes the Copyrighted compression routines and other highly competitive and Proprietary information. This likely needs no updating. 2) An Open Source (though still Propietary component) which needs occassional updates with the evolving changes in the Open Source Linux kernel 1) One is a problem for some Users with x86_64 systems. Linuxant is evidently no longer interested in paying the primary code owners for doing the 64 bit compiles under Linux 2) in principle it could be done. But there simply is no one left in the Linmodems group with expertise to do these Open Source fixes, though I tried for a while. Linuxant is a for profit organization, and evidently is no longer making enough from modem Users, to warrant their spending time on such frequent updates.
