Each of the wireless adapters requires a corresponding microcode or
firmware image to be loaded in order to function. The microcode for the
ipw3945 driver (ieee80211 based) also requires the use of a user space
regulatory daemon. All of those binaries are distributed as binaries
under a proprietary, free to redistribute (but not modify), license. "
Perhaps there is a misunderstanding. I am looking for firmware
released as binaries under a free license. If someone decompiles
such a binary and gives it meaningful function and variable names,
and comments to explain it, that will be free source code.
This firmware is not an option because it has a "proprietary, free to
redistribute (but not modify), license". To do reverse engineering on
this and make a useful result would require a clean-room procedure.
Can anyone recommend a real candidate?
