Hi,
As omer said - indeed SMLink published too much here, but I DO think
that this is a place to publish Linux related job.
In SMLink issue, the company want to develop a proprietary Linux drivers
for their USB hardware.
Now, they could easily just publish in places like Linux-USB mailing
list that they're looking for some people to write drivers in exchange
for some hardware "gifts" and the specs (Just like Logitec & Genius &
3Com did)- they preffer to close everything..
Ofcourse, its their right to do so, but I really don't think that binary
only modules (specially binary only modules for hardware) will get you
anywhere (I just wonder what will happend when Linux will move from
kernel 2.2 to 2.4 to 3.0 - who will guarantee I have drivers?)
This is just my personal opinion. Too bad SMLink doesn't THINK. If its
good for 3Com, Logitec, Genious, Shuttle, IOMega, Lexmark and others -
why is it bad for them??
