* Package name : rt73 Upstream author : Paul Lin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version : 1.0.3.6 * URL : http://www.ralinktech.com/drivers/Linux/RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6.tar.gz * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : Linux device driver for Ralink RT73 a/b/g WLAN Card I am the owner of USB-stick Wi-Fi network interface (Edimax EW-7318Ug). The only working driver is Ralink RT73 original driver. I'd like to see this driver in Debian distribution. I want to provide rt73-source package which is compatible with module-assistant. The resulting package (rt73-module-$VERSION) contains rt73.ko driver. The driver loads firmware from separate file and has included the blob with the default firmware if separate file is not available. I think the driver can go to contrib with removed the blob from its sources and with the firmware rt73.bin file can go to non-free as rt73-firmware package. The rt73.bin file is marked as GPL. There is no real source code included but this license implies that it is redistributable file at least as non-free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
