51 The following statement from Agere clarifies the status of the firmware
52
53 ---
54 I would like to confirm that the two drivers; Linux LKM Wireless Driver
55 Source Code, Version 7.18 and Linux LKM Wireless Driver Source Code,
56 Version 7.22 comply with Open Source BSD License. Therefore the source
57 code can be distributed in unmodified or modified form consistent with
58 the terms of the license.
59
60 The Linux driver architecture was based on two modules, the MSF (Module
61 specific functions) and the HCF (Hardware Control Functions). Included
62 in the HCF is run-time firmware (binary format) which is downloaded into
63 the RAM of the Hermes 1/2/2.5 WMAC.
64
65 This hex coded firmware is not based on any open source software and
66 hence it is not subject to any Open Source License. The firmware was
67 developed by Agere and runs on the DISC processor embedded within the
68 Hermes 1/2/2.5 Wireless MAC devices.
69
70 Hope this helps.
