Re: [WISPA] just installed a Huawei...
That's how they started out...even used the same model numbers initially. Cisco proved it because known IOS bugs were present in the Huawei OS! The settlement precluded Huawei from marketing in the US for some period of time...not sure if/when that ends. More recently, they licensed 3COMs router OS, so they should be legit. For those who care, they are heavily subsidized by the Chinese government.

For what its worth, I just installed one of their SANs from the Symantec-Huawei joint venture. The interface isn't quite as polished as the LSI software OEMed by Dell and IBM for their SANs, or the Equalogic interface, but it is functional. Certainly doesn't appear to be stolen or copied from anyone else, it has its own bugs! General build quality and performance are quite nice though, even with the shortcomings of the management interface. WISPA Wants You!
