Message-Id: <1250698851.4323.9.camel@localhost> Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:20:51 +0100 From: Karl Relton <karllinuxtest.relton@...world.com> To: Greg KH <greg@...ah.com> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: [PATCH] staging/wlan-ng: Convert firmware loading to load binary ihex format I plan to give the various distributions a utility to pre-compile the firmware. It is based on ihex2fw.c. I don't think the firmware will ever be accepted into linux-firmware because the original licensing cannot be established.
