Created an attachment (id=415792) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=415792) [details] License of Broadcom's wl driver
I've found yet another workaround:
Downloaded the "hybrid" driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php patched it as advised at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/frandalla-68463/patching-802-11...
That driver is closed source, and we can not include it at all, sorry.
Can you ship openSUSE 11.4 whith this driver instead of brcm80211 somehow? I attached the license of this driver.
No, it is not allowed to be distributed. Use the in-kernel driver instead. This bug is just for the simple issue of creating a symlink in the firmware package to allow the driver to find the firmware properly, don't switch to a whole new driver just for this reason. You can fix it yourself with a simple symlink, which is much easier than compiling a whole different, unsupportable driver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
