hi,
This card is based on a sigma design chipset. Will there be open source drivers available?
ftp://66.15.209.17/EM8621L/ - there you will find the drivers; in all the sample files sigma has no gpl license used - so i'm not sure what the correct license is. the kernel module (em8xxx.o) loads as tainted/non-gpl. the vdr plugin will be opensource of course.

Well, they appear to provide complete sources but that copyright notice doesn't unfortunately look too good :(
But, OTOH, I use proprietary nvidia drivers too.
