After being put straight in the linux-kernel mailing list on the same issue,
I need to correct myself here too. What looks like an open-source lucent
driver is actually an open-source wrapper around some mysterious "ltmdmobj.o"
object file from Lucent. The wrapper makes everything work properly in most
Linux versions (compare this to the old binary-only module that worked only
on very specific, old, versions of the kernel) but it's still not entirely
open source, which is probably why distributions do not have it preinstalled :(
