http://partner.atheros.com Offers a driver for linux, but it is module only. I need to statically support the network card for PXE booting. The GPL is being seriously abused by Atheros. You are forced to go through the typical you can't reverse engineer this driver, etcetera, BS. When you get the source extracted, there is a copying file that says that the driver is under the GPL version 2. If no part of the driver is proprietary, and none of it should be if the license is the GPL, then someone should fix the driver so that you can patch the kernel and statically support the network card. Someone should blow the whistle on Atheros, the GPL does not allow limitations on redistribution and reverse engineering. The company is idiotic making network cards that noone knows how to support. Opening up your design to the open source community increases demand for it. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
