Commit 782e70c6fc2290a0395850e8e02583b8b62264d8, which went into
2.6.25, broke AVM's closed-source driver for this device:
ID 057c:62ff AVM GmbH WLAN USB v1.1 (cdrom mode)
ID 057c:6201 AVM GmbH WLAN USB v1.1
Is there an open source alternative for that driver, or do systems
with that device have to stay with kernel 2.6.24?
Thanks,
Tilman

USB: mark USB drivers as being GPL only
It would.

There doesn't seem to be one in-tree. But linux-usb and/or linux-wireless
might be better places to ask.

It seems that way.
