New Revision: 292756
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/292756

Log:
  Disable the firwmare licence check for rsu and urtwn.
  
  The licence grant says something exactly the same as the atheros patent
  grant, which is "As long as you use this firmware on our chips, everything
  is totally okay."  Now, I'm pretty sure if that we /have/ to have this,
  we're going to have to have it for every other firmware for every other
  device in the tree.
  
  So, I'll flip this off in -HEAD for now so people stop asking about
  why rsu/urtwn don't work out of the box, and I'll kick off a larger
  discussion about this in the new year.
