I'm not sure where Hurd is at with wireless drivers, but there is some GPLed WiFi firmware out there: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/carl9170.fw http://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware In addition, firmware-linux-free contains some freely licensed firmware, including some for Ethernet cards. I believe the freely licensed nouveau drivers for nVidia GPU cards have the ability to generate the needed GPU microcode. So, someday the Hurd will need support for microcode upload. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hurd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
