Hosting wl driver, part of GPL package

Hosting wl driver, part of GPL package

[Rafał Miłecki]

I need some hosting for broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 extracted from
GPL sources.

Currently all the interesting drivers I've found are placed on:
http://broadcom.zajec.net/
but I can not guarantee 100% uptime or high bandwidth limit.

Can someone offer b43 a place to host that drivers? We need them to
extract firmware required for various Broadcom cards.

Up to now we were using openwrt's ftp but they don't host the newest
drivers. We need 5.100 or newer to have firmware for the newest cards
included (like HT-PHY).

I have an account at kernel.org. The problem there is that these are not open 
source, thus we would need special permission to upload them.

Sorry, I didn't have an idea it's a space for broadcom-wls. I though
it's for sharing patches before John take them ;)

Larry: notify us when you get response.

If you want somewhere to share patches, that's better done as a git tree
? I can give you an account on git.infradead.org instead. Or you can get
an account on kernel.org for that if you prefer.
