No es libre porque tiene un componenete (llamado HAL) que no lo es. El libre se llama ath9 pero se que solo es compatibe con kernels muy nuevos. Igualmente se puede bajar por cvs la rama trunk de madwifi que ya no usa el modulo hal.

En fin, por ahora lo más práctico es borrarlo y dejar el asunto pendiente. O sea ¿en un kernel 2.6.27 sería libre ese paquete? -- Marcos Guglielmetti - www.musix.org.ar Software Libre para Artistas

The ath_hal module contains the Atheros Hardware Access Layer (HAL). This code manages much of the chip-specific operation of the driver. The HAL is provided in a binary-only form in order to comply with FCC regulations. In particular, a radio transmitter can only be operated at power levels and on frequency channels for which it is approved. The FCC requires that a software-defined radio cannot be configured by the user to operate outside the approved power levels and frequency channels. This makes it difficult to open-source code that enforces limits on the power levels, frequency channels and other parameters of the radio transmitter. See http://ftp.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Orders/2001/fcc01264.pdf for the specific FCC regulation. Because the module is provided in a binary-only form it is marked "Proprietary"; this means when you load it you will see messages that your system is now "tainted". -- Dock Sud BBS http://bbs.docksud.com.ar telnet://bbs.docksud.com.ar
