Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup
To porting need a license ? may be for USA or some other countrys but not for whole world What you mean about porting ? I mean, thats sourcecode can build and can generate a work binary Create(generate) this binary from source or not, a user decides I do not think that broadсom will seek and pursue all users who wish to use porting code On Fri, 11/18/16, Adrian Chadd <adrian.ch...@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup To: "paradox" <ddkp...@yahoo.com> Cc: "freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org" <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> Date: Friday, November 18, 2016, 12:26 AM no, we don't have a licence to port it open source and I don't have a licence to generate binaries for other people. -adrian On 17 November 2016 at 14:17, paradox via freebsd-wireless <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> wrote: > what you mean ? if we have broadcom sourcecode, we can't porting and use it for self ? > > > On Fri, 11/18/16, Fehmi Noyan ISI <fnoyan...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup > To: "paradox" <ddkp...@yahoo.com>, "Felix Friedlander" <felixph...@gmail.com> > Cc: "freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org" <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> > Date: Friday, November 18, 2016, 12:03 AM > > > >>> the sourcecode can be porting to freebsd but > not including to kernel > > not quite sure about this... obviously enough, licences are > there for a reason. > > > From: paradox via freebsd-wireless <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> > To: Felix Friedlander <felixph...@gmail.com> > > Cc: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org > Sent: Friday, November 18, 2016 9:42 AM > Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr > sup > > > if Anrian already have access to source code of broadcom, > its great ! i don't known about it > > about of licensing, the sourcecode can be porting to freebsd > but not including to kernel, seems many people tobe > enougth this > > > > On Thu, 11/17/16, Felix Friedlander <felixph...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr > sup > To: "paradox" <ddkp...@yahoo.com> > Cc: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org > Date: Thursday, November 17, 2016, 10:32 PM > > > > On 18 Nov. 2016, at 05:36, paradox via > freebsd-wireless > <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> > wrote: > > > > seems all BCM WIFI PHY & MAC sourcecode of > ABG/N/LP/NT/SSN > > hope your can build it or take part for independ > module > > > MAC > > >https://github.com/elenril/VMG1312-B/tree/master/bcmdrivers/broadcom/net/wl/impl10/wl/sys > > PHY > > >https://github.com/elenril/VMG1312-B/tree/master/bcmdrivers/broadcom/net/wl/impl10/wl/phy > > There’s a difference between finding the code, and having > a licence to use it… If I’m not mistaken Adrian already > has access to the proprietary Broadcom driver through his > work, it’s more of a licensing issue. > > Still a nice find though, with this and the Cypress > datasheets some things may become a bit easier. > > -- > Felix Friedlander <felixph...@gmail.com> > ___ > freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org > mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" > ___ > freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list > https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

porting to freebsd !=(not eq) include sourcecode to freebsd On Fri, 11/18/16, Fehmi Noyan ISI <fnoyan...@yahoo.com> wrote: Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup To: "paradox" <ddkp...@yahoo.com>, "freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org" <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> Date: Friday, November 18, 2016, 12:42 AM Dont know how this code was leaked, but in the source files it is clearly stated that the work is proprietary and all rights are reserved. This prevents FreeBSD developers (or any open source developer - say Linux kernel guys) from porting the code into any open source project.

Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup
if Anrian already have access to source code of broadcom, its great ! i don't known about it about of licensing, the sourcecode can be porting to freebsd but not including to kernel, seems many people tobe enougth this On Thu, 11/17/16, Felix Friedlander <felixph...@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: sourcecode of broadcom drivers up to 2011 yr sup To: "paradox" <ddkp...@yahoo.com> Cc: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org Date: Thursday, November 17, 2016, 10:32 PM > On 18 Nov. 2016, at 05:36, paradox via freebsd-wireless <freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org> wrote: > > seems all BCM WIFI PHY & MAC sourcecode of ABG/N/LP/NT/SSN > hope your can build it or take part for independ module > MAC > https://github.com/elenril/VMG1312-B/tree/master/bcmdrivers/broadcom/net/wl/impl10/wl/sys > PHY > https://github.com/elenril/VMG1312-B/tree/master/bcmdrivers/broadcom/net/wl/impl10/wl/phy There’s a difference between finding the code, and having a licence to use it… If I’m not mistaken Adrian already has access to the proprietary Broadcom driver through his work, it’s more of a licensing issue.

Cypress bought Broadcom's wifi business and published their datasheets
may be its help to support BCM WIFI ? http://www.cypress.com/search/all?f[0]=meta_type%3Atechnical_documents[1]=resource_meta_type%3A575[2]=field_related_products%3A110101 ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
