Interesting GPL eh
Honestly, we won't be able to tell exactly what has changed until Palm makes the 1.2 sources available. In previous WebOS builds, the driver was released as binary only with no source patches, which leads me to believe that Palm didn't make any changes until now and likely at the behest of Sprint or Bell.
And yeah it's GPL (scroll down to the bottom of the licensing text box on that page), but modifying kernel drivers is way beyond my capabilities haha. Annoying too, cause I'd love to get Thermal Compensation working as well as adding more TX power options; it would massively save on battery life while wirelessly tethering, with literally no downside.
