Hi all: One of the difficulty that continues to plague Open Source Engineers is non-availability of chipset documentation or restriction on Firmware distribution rights.
During the meeting with JNTUCE students, this point was highlighted in the case of two wireless products sold in the India market. They are - 1. LINKSYS Wireless-G WP654G 2.4GHz 802.11g 2. NETGEAR Wireless PC Card 32-vit CardBus WG 511 The only way to make the devices work is using the NDIS wrapper and that is at best flaky. Theo De Raadt, the founder of the OpenBSD project has written an open letter on this issue (as by OpenBSD when dealing with Intel) to the Open Source community.
