-The following statement from Agere clarifies the status of the firmware
-
----
-I would like to confirm that the two drivers; Linux LKM Wireless Driver
-Source Code, Version 7.18 and Linux LKM Wireless Driver Source Code,
-Version 7.22 comply with Open Source BSD License. Therefore the source
-code can be distributed in unmodified or modified form consistent with
-the terms of the license.
-
-The Linux driver architecture was based on two modules, the MSF (Module
-specific functions) and the HCF (Hardware Control Functions). Included
-in the HCF is run-time firmware (binary format) which is downloaded into
-the RAM of the Hermes 1/2/2.5 WMAC.
-
-This hex coded firmware is not based on any open source software and
-hence it is not subject to any Open Source License. The firmware was
-developed by Agere and runs on the DISC processor embedded within the
-Hermes 1/2/2.5 Wireless MAC devices.
-
-Hope this helps.
-
-Sincerely,
-
-Viren Pathare
-Intellectual Property Licensing Manager
