Hello,<br><br>The module's source is indeed free as in freedom, otherwise I don't know why it would be available in the Linux Libre source code.<br>I'm still trying to tweak the PKGBUILD of the Linux Libre Kernel but it keeps outputing dummy packages.<br>

<tt><font color="#000000">(even if it's tweaked) takes way too much time on my machine.</font></tt><br>

I'm forwarding this message to the dev list because looks like nobody wants to help me out with the list for assist people.<br>
I can't help you out with that, is very technical for my skills, but, that module's source code is free as in freedom? sorry, we must ask first... <br>
