open source wifi drivers

edit

hello your work is great!!!!!!!!!!!
i only like to know why you removed some drivers such as the port of openHAL to linux or the realtech line?
00 tux 21:06, 4 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

The big difference between openHAL and madwifi is the licence...
OpenHAL is 200% free software because there isn't any firmware just like madwifi and the proprietary Hal is remplaced by a free software HAl(the regulations are still enforced)
By the way the folowing could be interesting
personaly i tryed to install openHAL on linux and i failled: there is the folowing error(when compiling it):
Makefile.inc:215: *** TARGET i386-elf is invalid, valid targets are: .  Stop.
so i can't know if it works,i sent a mail to the dev but i haven't got any response(that was predictable because there is written that the dev prefer patch over question on the page)
I also tryed the OpenBSD openHAL without sucess but it is well known that it works for most users
the error this time is with the regulation policy:
ath0: AR5212 7.9 phy 4.5 rf 2112 5.6 rf2112 5.6ath0: no valid channels for regdomain NONE(32976)
I am in belgium and wifi is legal there
I also tryed madwifi and it works under certain conditions
by the way i have gentoo and things not always work out the box

Look for some threads about FreeBSD or OpenBSD Alternatives Architectures...lol it's funny that you too you are a gentoo and OpenBSD user(i don't use it yet) by the way who are you?
Some people realy cares about the freeness of drivers that run in kenel mode...
here there are some argument against proprietary software driver...there is a huge difference between binary proprietary userspace program and binary proprietary kernel space programs
so mabe adding it in the licence we could resolve this problem

Speedy deletion of Demonoid (band)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Demonoid (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - -The Spooky One (talk to me) 04:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
