I'm using a AVM Fritz Wlan Stick of the first generation. This USB
device has the TNETW1450 by Texas Instruments.
According to the ubuntu-wikipage this is one device that needs to be
handled with ndiswrapper & the windows driver , because no kernel driver
is available.
I searched around and came across http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ . This
driver isnt merged obviously because of legal problems with the
developing process.
In the LWN Article "Who wrote 2.6.37" ( http://lwn.net/Articles/420658/
) i've seen the chipset manufacturer Texas instruments being ranked
quite high up.
Are there plans to get official support for the chipsets
ACX100/ACX111/TNETW1450 in the mainline tree one day, now that the
manufacturer has started to work on linux-support? Will the legal issues
be dealt with, so the sf-project can be included and the driver being
worked on by more people than just 2 or 3 ?
