You got to love rtw88 in kernel 6.2 Saved my live with our embedded linux (we need WiFi but can’t pay the licensing for including WiFi on print)

In what context are you required to pay licensing for Wi-Fi drivers?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not the drivers has to be paid. It’s licensing for using the wifi protocol and the MAC Address etc. As far as I understood. Hardware Design is not my work in the company I work..
