To tell you the truth, when Thomson sent us a patch for stusb 330
support i tried to "negotiate"[1] the needed specs to undertsand what we
were doing in modem_run. But now more than 6weeks later, and though they
promised they would phone me... i had no more contacts with thomson.
I just gave it up, because we already failed with Alcatel and Thomson
ignored our requests just like Alcatel (ok they were more polite, they
listened to our request)
I've been also be discusing the possiblity to change the Firware's
license so every user could have the right to distribute it. This was
intended to solve the problem of modem_run being distributable (because
it's GPL) but not the firmware. That's all the problem with our free set
of drivers (kernel and user mode). We have drivers, but they can't be
distributed in an usable state because we lack the right to distribute
that file. Here again i had no answers from thomson.
Btw, perhaps you would success where I and Alex have failed.
[1] This was not a negotiation, but a kind of "fair cooperation"
proposition. I proposed to continue to support driver devlopment if they
provided us miminum set of docs so that we could understand the
modem_run magic sequences. I proposed a change of the firmware's
license so that we could have been shipping it with the driver.
