| Please do note that PCTel provides proprietary drivers, and in the free world of GNU/Linux, proprietary drivers
are not the solution. These drivers can turn out to be a great threat as the Free Software Movement evolves and
matures. So, at the very beginning, please consider whether you want to surrender your "freedom" to PCTel, or
whether you want to go out and buy a new modem which has a GPL'ed driver. I understand, that for many, buying
a new modem is not possible, and hence, this doc exists. But whatever you do, please do send a mail to
Mr. Jack Seller of PCTel's Public Relation department at this
address asking PCTel to release the source code of their drivers. Remember that when you are using proprietary drivers, you are giving up your freedom. |
