I don't include it in the driver. It's in a module of it's own. In production these modules will come from ports and should be installed in /boot/modules - not problem whatsoever. As far as I read the license it might even be possible to have it on installation CDs. I am not a lawyer and will thus leave that for others to discuss. As far as this tarball is concerned. I have the LICENSE in the same location as the firmware so I do what it asks for. Please tell me if I'm mistaken. > Max Laier wrote: > > On Saturday 28 January 2006 18:53, [LoN]Kamikaze wrote: > >> I've got two problems with if_iwi. > >> > >> While active I permanently get the error message: > >> iwi0: unknown notification type 15 > >> > >> And the command: > >> # ifconfig iwi0 scan > >> doesn't work.
