Hmm u sure they are using a linux version ?They can't do that cos its GPLd.Now if you said BSD, i might agree. And BTW they don't have to contribute back with it.

Got hold of GPL code for the USB Driver its a shame that they dont distribute code on their website in India. Will try to post link.

Download it NOW!!!!!

It should work with any DLink router. Might contain code 4 firmware code. Enterprise customer care of D-Link ROCKZ....

Where / how did you obtain the code? And how did you get hold of enterprise CC?

 

[netfreak]

Got it from their CC, one of my friends works in a company where D-Link supplies consultants for CnC ops, they have access to Enterprise CC. Was talking to him and it seems that you have to have worked for a few years in router or SAN automation even before they will consider you for a CC position.Much different then CC we get as "retail" customers.

Haha. Thats great. But why doesnt D-Link give out the drivers to everyone? I mean how could it possibly be against their interests? Lest M$ is pressurising them not to...

My guess/speculation is, its due to money.

IP lawyers need to scrutinize code before it goes out to public (to make sure you are not sharing any code that you "bought" from someone else).

And Lawyer's charges are way more then IT developers

haha. thats a good explanation
