Obviously I don't know but I think it's highly likely that it's not
Nokia's to release--the Conexant people (who have never really been nice
to open source developers--their devkit for the ivtv MPEG cards common
in MythTV setups is $10,000) clammed up on the Prism54 developers
several years ago when their SoftMAC chips starting turning up in the
wild. There has been work on reverse engineering these, called islsm,
and someone had some code working a little bit on a 770, but nothing
concrete at the moment.
