(example:
ATM_SOLOS - Solos ADSL2+ PCI Multiport card driver drivers/atm/solos-pci.c: disabled non-Free firmware-loading machinery drivers/atm/solos-pci.c: removed blobs
)
What is the purpose of the device?
Who needs it?
(which computer models use this device or which niche users usually buy such peripherals?)
How critical it is to get free support for it?
(Is it a very popular device that requires us to prioritize efforts?)
What is(are) the processor architecture(s) of this device?
Unknown.
Who is working on a free firmware implementation?
Nobody.
Links to online documentation
Where are the non-free firmware images made available?
This section includes links to non-free firmware with the purpose of fostering the development of a fully free firmware for this device. Please, do not use these non-free firmwares if you are not developing a free replacement for it.
"The Free Software Foundation follows the rule that we cannot install any proprietary program on our computers except temporarily for the specific purpose of writing a free replacement for that very program. Aside from that, we feel there is no possible excuse for installing a proprietary program." [1]
What makes them non-free?
(describe clearly the specific reasons for it being considered non-free)
- Firmware source code is not available.
What else do we know about this device?
(any further info that might help the creation of free firmware for it)
- For sale at distributor webpage
