[The licensing issue was something I noticed while diff'ing the v9 8686 sources to the sources in Gutsy. The new v9 sources from Marvell's download site didn't appear to have GPL licenses, whereas the code in Gutsy is clearly licensed under GPL.] I will check with AirDio and let you know. We can't yet pull the latest sources into Ubuntu as AirDio is working on porting the latest version ( ie. v9 ) of the driver to 2.6.22. FYI, I forwarded the contact info of David @ AiriDio to Feng and Rob, so that they can try an coordinate their efforts in completing this work.
