The kernel module is actually open-source and could even be merged in
the kernel tree. If the modem was smart it would run its own firmware
without relying on the client's machine to do it.
Q1: Are the ST USB drivers for Linux completely Open Source ?
A1: Alcatel supports the Open Source Movement, but feels it has to
protect it's Intellectual property. Therefore, The drivers are only
partially Open Source.
There is a open source kernel-module (GPL) and a closed source
management application. The management application is distributed as a
binary and contains the firmware.
