I consider natively to denote a device (in this case) that works without the requirement of any software emulation to lead it to believe it is functioning on a OS different from the host OS. If a firmware blob might be considered a software emulation layer of sorts, I wouldn't know, but still fail to see how or why whether a given blob is free or not enters into the equation. > anything packaged under firmware-linux-free requires a blob but > the blob is free. > > -dsr- -- "J'ai pour me guérir du jugement des autres toute la distance qui me sépare de moi."
