Hello, everyone.
Please tell me, is the RTL8188CUS chip free or not?
I can't understand the logic of the website https://h-node.org
For example, the EW-7811Un Wi-Fi adapter https://h-node.org/wifi/view/en/604/Edimax-Technology-Co--Ltd-EW-7811Un-802-11n-Wireless-Adapter--Realtek-RTL8188CUS-/ if you look at the description,
it says:
“Its Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset requires non-free firmware.”
But at the same time, it says:
“Does it work with free software?” “Yes”
I also don't understand the logic of whoever created this site—why are chips or other devices listed here that don't support free software?
This confuses the user; they come here to find a device that works with free software and then buy it, but they see the message
does it work with free software? NO
Why are all these devices on this site?
Hello, sam-d16.
I corrected the WiFi card page at h-node.
Now everything is fine.
Hello Icarolongo.
Thank you for your prompt reply and resolution.
Here is another page containing the same information.
etc
Fixed.
"why are chips or other devices listed here that don't support free software?"
Because we want to know. If they are not listed, we can guess only, and maybe they have not been tested.
