Welte: Netgear "Open source" router not open
The recently announced Netgear RangeMax WNR3500L, dubbed an "Open Source Linux Router" by Netgear has been criticised for not being sufficiently open. Founder of gpl-violations.org, Harald Welte, points out in a blog posting that the router ships with binary-only kernel modules and that these modules only work with a Linux 2.4 kernel, such as the Linux 2.4.20 based firmware that Netgear ship with the device.
