The following binary firmware files are (c) Conexant, and do not fall under the GPL or MPL. They are assumed to have the same license as their windows client drivers, ie everyone who bought a card that came with a windows driver already has a copy of and license to use the necessary firmware, albeit possibly an older version. These are bundled with linux-wlan-ng for convenience only, as many newer adapters (eg Prism 3 w/SSF) require a firmware download in order to function at all. Primary (Basic hardware functionality) firmware images: af010104.hex Prism 2.5/3 AMD Flash ak010104.hex Prism 2.5/3 SST Flash pm010102.hex Prism 3 Short Serial Flash Secondary (STA/Adhoc/HostAP mode) firmware images: r1010701.hex Prism 2 PCMCIA adapters rf010804.hex Prism 2.5/3 PCI/PCMCIA adapters ru010803.hex Prism 2/3 USB adapters Tertiary firmware images (Firmware-based AP mode) are not bundled, as that requires an explicit license from Conexant to use, with explicit limitations on redistribution. The cx23418 firmware files: v4l-cx23418-apu.fw v4l-cx23418-cpu.fw v4l-cx23418-dig.fw are covered by the following license: Conexant grants permission to use and redistribute these firmware files for use with Conexant devices, but not as a part of the Linux kernel or in any other form which would require these files themselves to be covered by the terms of the GNU General Public License.
