OLPC Laptop - an open source substandard ?

[Gabor Dolla]

Hi


> Marvell can make the 802.11s code available for porting under NDA.


Questions:
- The goal to have an open source solution. If the code will be free and
available what is the purpose of NDA ?
- Marvell would hand over the full specs of the chip including the radio
part ? AFAIK usually the radio part is kept as a secret to make regulators
happy,,, Or the radio part would be in binary format ?
- 802.11 b/g is also implemented in software as in recent prism54 chips
(soft MAC)? The open source solutions should cover that part too ?
- An underlying OS (ticket suggest TinyOS) is really needed ?
- 802.11s or batman is preferred ?
- 802.11i is in the scope ?
