Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : dgap Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Digi International * URL : http://www.digi.com * License : GPL w/separate non-free firmwares Description : driver for Digi Acceleport PCI multiport serial cards
This will go into contrib; the sources up on Digi's support site also contain the firmwares needed by the cards. I'll split the firmware files from the source package to put them in non-free, where they belong. I'm currently verifying that we can redistribute the files, as there's no mention of anything concerning the firmware files in the source package. The dgap driver obsoletes the epca driver which is included in the vanilla kernel distribution. It supports only the PCI cards, and works on Linux 2.4 and 2.6.
