Subject: free tg3 ethernet driver
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 23:53:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200810082353.31033.davi@leals.com> (raw)
We would like to have a tg3 driver which would be accepted as free by the
FSF's standards.
At least some part of the driver seems to be GPL'ed; see [1]. However, the
FSF's hardware guide lists tg3 as non-free, so there seems to be a non-free
firmware somewhere.

We would like to be able to use the free driver with Linux 2.6.27 or later.
