It depends on your definition. There is software inside almost every device which is not free. There is a small computer inside every hard drive, every networking card, every wifi card, every part of a computer. If that software must be open and available then no device is free. If it is OK to consider the device as a hardware (also when a part of it is non-free software) and the hardware being free as long as it can be *used* with free software, then very many devices are free, including b43 wireless cards using non-free software inside the device. > It is very complicated for French to understand all these subtleties! Maybe you can find a technical group in your area which can explain it in your language. //Peter _______________________________________________ b43-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/b43-dev
