the firmware for the iwn(4) powered cards is (in contrast to ipw(4)) provided by Intel under a permissive license that does not require end-user acknowledgment. It is unfortunate that Intel doesn't release all firmware similarly - so we have to live with the slight confusion stemming from that. You can identify all firmware(9) modules in the tree that require a license ack, by grepping for "FIRMWARE_LICENSE" in the module Makefiles. -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
