Hi all.
Can someone confirm wether they get this same dmesg output when
loading the rt61 kernel module?
Jan 23 19:15:53 localhost kernel: [17261763.564000] rt61: module
license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
if they do, i'll be off to file a bug to kill off my wireless :\

I get that too:
[17233741.724000] rt61: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
In rt61-1.1.0-b1/Module/rt_config.h we have:
#define RT2561_IMAGE_FILE_NAME "/etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt2561.bin"
#define RT2561S_IMAGE_FILE_NAME "/etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt2561s.bin"
#define RT2661_IMAGE_FILE_NAME "/etc/Wireless/RT61STA/rt2661.bin"
Which references the three blobs of binary firmware shipped with the
otherwise GPL'd driver.
Although it references them, i don't have an /etc/Wireless directory, so
i don't have the files. (locate agrees about them not being there).
i don't understand how the warning is generated (from kernel/module.c )
either, so i cant work out why it says that.
the only file in the directory (
linux-source-2.6.15-2.6.15/drivers/net/wireless/rt2600 ) without the GPL
licence block is md5.h, which is called directly from md5.c. Is it
possible the warning is legacy?
