Subject: [9fans] SMC EtherEZ (SMC91cXX) driver
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 17:25:00 -0400	[thread overview]

Hi,

Recently I installed Plan9 on my laptop. Unfortunatelly my PCMCIA network
card (SMC EtherEZ 8020) was not supported so I had to write a driver for it
by myself. It's working fine but ... there is a small problem with the driver
'license'. My wish is to release it under the plan9 license. However since I
couldn't find any manual for the chip (SMC91c94) I looked the Linux driver
code. I am not sure whether I am obliged to GPL the driver since I used the
Linux code only as a reference. Any thoughts? 

Is there a problem with including the driver in Plan9 if I release it under
GPL? (this is considered a last resort).

Thanks,
	Lucho
