Hi,<br>
<br>
Great email Valent, and I fully agree with your comments.<br>
We have had this discussion here in the past and nothing much
changed from Belkin side (actually it got worse as they disappeared
apparently) showing a total failure on product release.<br>
<br>
I'm not entirely sure of the status of WRT1200AC, but if there is
nothing here in OpenWRT and nothing else much can be found on the
web they are once again lying. They are publishing intentions as if
it was something that was already done and consolidated, ready for
any buyer to enjoy. If there is something going on between them and
OpenWRT we are not aware, at least not via this list.<br>
<br>
I personally consider a big slap in the face of consumers Marketing
doing what they do in Belkin, like if they didn't care at all. This
is not simply 'a mistake' or 'a misunderstanding' , it's complete
dishonesty and they are probably fully aware of this but simply
don't care at all cause they just want to reach their marketing
target. Probably people there might not even have a basic idea about
what is open-source.<br>
<br>
As mentioned Marvel is doing some progress with the Wifi driver,
which is great for WRT1900AC owners, but that's Marvel only. What
has Belkin done about their share of the work BEFORE they release
this new product ? I not sure if much or any.<br>
I hope they are able to show me I am wrong on my comments.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Fernando<br>

<div>Linksys/Belking marketing is again doing one thing and
saying another?<br>
<br>
This time they say that WRT1200AC router is open source:<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
</div>
I have tracked progress with WRT1900AC and saw how they
failed to give us open source driver, so I hope that this
time they will actually keep their (marketing) promise.<br>
<br>
</div>
I really, really, really hope that this time they have reached
out and contacted any of you OpenWrt developers and that we
will get truly open source driver from them.<br>
<br>
</div>
So please let us know if any of you have heard anything
regarding WRT1200AC router and it's drivers.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Valent.<br>
