It is my understanding that Lantiq determined that they now own the rights to the proprietary code that leaked into the acx-mac80211 driver and gave OpenWrt the official go-ahead to use it under the GPL. I could be wrong, but AFAIK, the status of this driver is no longer an issue. What IS still an issue is the lack of a usable driver for the TNETW1350A, because no one has the inclination to write it. The current upstream maintainer of acx-mac80211, Oliver Winker, said that such a driver would much more closely resemble the wl1251 driver than the acx driver, but the wl1251 maintainers know nothing about the TNETW1350A. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
