[edit] open source wifi drivers

hello your work is great!!!!!!!!!!!
i only like to know why you removed some drivers such as the port of openHAL to linux or the realtech line?
00 tux 21:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

The big difference between openHAL and madwifi is the licence...
OpenHAL is 200% free software because there isn't any firmware just like madwifi and the proprietary Hal is remplaced by a free software HAl(the regulations are still enforced)
By the way the folowing could be interesting
personaly i tryed to install openHAL on linux and i failled: there is the folowing error(when compiling it):
Makefile.inc:215: *** TARGET i386-elf is invalid, valid targets are: .  Stop.
so i can't know if it works,i sent a mail to the dev but i haven't got any response(that was predictable because there is written that the dev prefer patch over question on the page)
I also tryed the OpenBSD openHAL without sucess but it is well known that it works for most users
the error this time is with the regulation policy:
ath0: AR5212 7.9 phy 4.5 rf 2112 5.6 rf2112 5.6ath0: no valid channels for regdomain NONE(32976)
I am in belgium and wifi is legal there
I also tryed madwifi and it works under certain conditions
by the way i have gentoo and things not always work out the box

Look for some threads about FreeBSD or OpenBSD Alternatives Architectures...lol it's funny that you too you are a gentoo and OpenBSD user(i don't use it yet) by the way who are you?
Some people realy cares about the freeness of drivers that run in kenel mode...
here there are some argument against proprietary software driver...there is a huge difference between binary proprietary userspace program and binary proprietary kernel space programs
so mabe adding it in the licence we could resolve this problem

No problem it was all rubbish anyway. I'd have cleaned it up if asked. I had no idea that there was a discussion concerning it's deletion. dystopianray 17:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
