[En-Nut-Discussion] ZG2100

I did a quick google search, and found this;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_open_source_wireless_drivers#FreeBSD_2

I could be mistaken, and the drivers in question may have a closed-source
blob in the middle.
But if BSD licensed open drivers are available - then could they be adopted
into Ethernut?

Regards,
John
