It contains ~3 MB of source code for the wireless device (Broadcom BCM43XX 802.11abg), but there are no make files and the build process takes an pre-compiled version. It looks like someone forgot to delete some files. There is a text like this in all files: This is UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE of Broadcom Corporation; The package can be downloaded at: http://broadband.eip.siemens.ch/public/GPL_source/GPL_source_CL_SL_SLI_se= ries_consumer_release.tar The code is in the directory broadcom/net/wl/impl1 If you know Broadcom had published it, forget about this e-mail. -- Hauke Tim Gardner schrieb: > John, >=20 > Here is the URL to Broadcom's web site advertising their open source > driver with support for the BCM4313. >=20 > http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php >=20 > rtg --------------enig57F575483C6D33EF537835FD Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIVAwUBSFA/toZ0px9YPRMyAQI4jg//dMQ9DQfNqULKubQWlaPIOUyJ0SRm+Rku UGGi6rAc9xOLKJubvPO3n4Go1A1u0Muuy1fyVNSW8tIqOiCFtszNw8hcKkKpNFsW tZCPErKTj/NeZQFinwIM1PGgC1qEr1BmZPD6ZA0+w6uDH1ypoJ5C8sSYEq6TN8WL +z+ZJ2lNSNWbHi5Dq6gzHtm/eFCo/yf6X97s69yZkyobrkkfWT0SdHsaj+5i6gyz 6t0IOTlK1J8++CRt/oBaQBaOu18xwHCecxd7Uly+aEasAte6Fo//Vsrx+m2Jgxcb xBx0H3ewL6hDTeuEWTWUE3ENH1wmLtjILLazDehI3SYyFUX/KwRFRWfofhnpDmyl bUcpFLPvpsFfddHDpzyuCwby2BQ96aYuptnkGFFON155kczuq+ZoJCIbsOBHBmfH eoAceH8VNSydnV9OzM97h27SEHf6E0ub6k694pN/Muyh4BZ6yvWZmshuPCz/S5Oz O4p+dGjaZV5+jOPqUjMf7wU3G356WAqT05EOYKrfaw8Nr2SgVrFoW5unRtDYFqwd 1EKoiZHrfo50s+4SXgG98nCR+QT/88HFR4NBWpecIYFxP64s5PW57v1CNL/OhyMH wpl40rNSbgy/FqoPE2/0l9UGTOZ4nx4rdmzquMox4tFNiRZxsxC4p6InE4FHObyK 3lFT+73H0nE= =itck -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig57F575483C6D33EF537835FD--
