No code was ever released AFAICT, looking at the presentation I guess any reimplementation would have to mostly do the reverse-engineering from scratch. > http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/News/Free-Firmware-for-Broadcom-WiFi-Chips Doesn't look like it is developed any more. In addition it only supports old hardware that doesn't fit into current laptops. I bought a miniPCI card supported by OpenFWWF but I didn't know that there are multiple miniPCI form factors so it is basically unusable unless I can find some sort of adaptor to put it into a desktop machine. http://www.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/ -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise _______________________________________________ Fsf-collab-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/fsf-collab-discuss
