Subject: IPWireless 3G PCMCIA Network Driver and GPL
Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 11:45:16 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060616094516.GA3432@elf.ucw.cz> (raw)

Hi!

I'm trying to get "IPWireless 3G PCMCIA" to work under linux. There
are two problems:

* first, only available version is for 2.6.12, and fixes to make it
compile under 2.6.16 don't seem to be trivial

What is worse,

/*
 * IPWireless 3G PCMCIA Network Driver
 *
 *   by Stephen Blackheath <stephen@blacksapphire.com>,
 *      Ben Martel <benm@symmetric.co.nz>
 *
 * Copyrighted as follows:
 *   Copyright (C) 2004 by Symmetric Systems Ltd (NZ)
 */

...so I'm not even allowed to fix it. I believe that driver should be
GPLed -- it is unusable without pcmcia packages after all.

Can you clarify copyright situation? Does anyone have 2.6.16 version
by chance?
									Pavel
