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.
