However, my concern is that this is really not the experience we'd like to provide to openSUSE users.
How can be improve upon this? Get TerraTec to release the firmware under a license that we can distribute it :)
I'll be happy to invest a bit into this. Do you guys have any back- ground on whether this has been tried before and possibly an FAQ for vendors? (We've got something along these lines for GCC, and it's proven useful.)
I would suggest asking the v4l developers about this as to if they have asked the company about this in the past. Their address is: video4linux-list@redhat.com And no, I don't know of such a FAQ, sorry, it would be good to create, but as the kernel community is split as to the validity of shipping closed firmware images, it might be tough to get something together about it :( thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
