The newest version is free. I and Alexandre Oliva checked it. Those 2 files are build from commented OpenFWWF sources and no longer require any files to be extracted from the proprietary driver. You need linux-libre 2.6.30 to use it, though. It needs to be placed in /lib/firmware/b43-open and "options b43 qos=0 nohwcrypt=1" be added to /etc/modprobe.d/options. That statement at the bottom is confusing, but if you read through all the news then you see that this dependancy on non-free parts was dropped. _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
