Possible GPL Violation - Samsung Mobile WiMax CPE range

[Christian P. Schmidt]

Hi all,

There is a possible violation with Samsung's WiMax CPEs, see http://www.samsung.com/global/business/telecommunication/productInfo.do?ctgry_group=11&ctgry_type=16&b2b_prd_id=187 <http://www.samsung.com/global/business/telecommunication/productInfo.do?ctgry_group=11&ctgry_type=16&b2b_prd_id=187> for those. I own a model SMT-S3500, and after some initial testing managed to break into it (details on that available on request). It clearly shows:

Trying 192.168.111.1...

I can not find a firmware anywhere, nor the source code for the one I have. The CD only contains the usual drivers for windows.

Regards,
Chris
