Hello,
Your company has released a driver for the RP-242201 22Mbps Wireless LAN card to use with the Linux operating system. The driver is provided in a binary form called acx100_pci.o and some additional documentation and minimal utilities also in a binary form. The driver information contains the following:
root:/usr/src/acx_orig/RP-241101(2411AP)/Linux# modinfo acx100_pci.o filename: acx100_pci.o description: "TI ACX100 WLAN 22Mbps driver" author: "Lancelot Wang" license: "GPL"
I also noticed that the utilities look very similar to those contained in the linux-wlan-ng driver package which is licensed under the Mozilla Public License.
As I understand the GNU General Public License, this driver was released under, states in section 3, quote:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The entire license text can be found at:
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
I found no source code or any documentation about the location from where I can download it or any contact address from where I can get a copy of it.
Please provide the necessary information, for receiving a copy of this driver in source code.
Best regards,
