Please, can you make totally sure person responsible for this gets it totally right? I believe it's very important. The easiest step for you, which we still would appreciate is really trivial one. It's *not* about writing any code, *not* about releasing anything new. It's just about releasing in under friendly license. This firmware is already available, we have access to it, we use it. The problem is that distributions can not ship it. If you let me use simplification: all we need as first nice step is Broadcom to say: "You can use it". -- Rafa?
