Subject: Legal state of the Texas Instruments chipset TNETW1450?
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:56:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2906922.1A9akqrIHs@nebulos> (raw)

Hello,
there are currently a couple of AVM& Devolo usb devices and i think also a 
couple of wifi routers that are using old TI chipsets.
As far as i know the there were legal issues with the ACX driver from 
http://sourceforge.net/p/acx100/acx-mac80211/ci/master/tree/
Since then TI has announced their OpenLink project  and there is a page that 
is dedicated to linux support https://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/tools-software/linux.page

Is that enough to try again to get documentation and/or their blessing to get 
this driver or a rewrite into the mainline kernel?

Regards
Sam
