Linksys gpl code [OT]
Hi lkml,
I don't know if anyone's noticed, but Linksys have opened up and
released their code.
http://www.linksys.com/support/gpl.asp
Don't know if it satisfies the gpl; i'm currently downloading the stuff to see what's different from the release sources.

Hi lkml,

released their code.
BTW - Qlogic have also tidied up their fibre channel stuff that was using Linux. Customers can now order the sources at nominal cost, and the documentation now includes a clear offer.
They are also at great pains to state that if you modify your fc switch they are absolutely not supporting it any more 8)

For people interested in poking around on their Qlogic switch, it took John the Ripper all of about 15 seconds to elucidate the root password on their XFS(!?) firmware image.
Qlogic press releases indicate you'll find that Cisco embeds Qlogic's FC switching (and therefore Linux) inside some of their products like the SN5428, though they probably have yet to follow up on the documentation side.

I downloaded that kernel.tgz and diff'ed it out - it's a *hugh* patch removing tons of comments and #if 0 ... #endif parts. That makes it more complicated to find the "interesting" parts for us, but also it will get hard for them to ever port that changes over to 2.4.current...

Can you upload it somewhere or is it too big for that?

It's like 15M; and the diffstat over 300k. If I can fudge all the sgi mips patches out of there I might be able to figure out what stuff linksys have added and get a reasonable sized patch out. Matt
