Netgear trying to fool their users with "Open Source Router"
,----[ Quote ]
| Two days ago, Netgear has announced the so-called "Open
| Source" WNR3500L router, together with an equally "Open
| Source" MyOpenRouter community.
|
| The problem with this Open Source router is: It ships with
| binary-only kernel modules. Not only is this extremely
| Closed Source, but it also
|
| * has very practical security implications: You can
| never update your Linux kernel to get the latest
| security fixes, but have to run vulnerable old kernel
| versions
| * is a very questionable legal practise. Netgear as
| the vendor is simply relying on the fact that none of
| the authors who have written parts of the kernel
| against which their binary-only module links will ever
| make copyright claims against them

Netgear betas open source NAS OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Netgear is about to launch APIs for the operating system kernel that runs on
| its ReadyNAS devices.
|
| "They run on a linux kernel anyway and now we're in beta release with APIs so
| the geeks can hack away at it," said Netgear CEO Patrick Lo. He swears by the
| company's open source stance generally, arguing that last week's moves by
| high-end networking heavyweights Cisco and Juniper in the direction of
| opening up their router OSes validate Netgear's strategy.

| At the heart of the EVA800 is the 200MHz Sigma Media processor which has

| Linux flavour of sorts. You'll see why we've come to that astute conclusion
