According to espn and Ed Werder, on both espn and NFL network bottom lines.
UPDATE:
Favre told Werder he's been reinstated.
His plane lands at 6:30 -- he won't be attending family night, unfortunately, according to ESPN.
Will report to camp tomorrow at 1:00 PM.

Update 2 August 3, 2008, 12:47 PM ET
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Brett Favre will be reinstated and added to the Green Bay Packers' active roster Monday.
The NFL announced the move Sunday. Commissioner Roger Goodell had held off on granting Favre's request for reinstatement for nearly a week.
He hoped Favre and the team could resolve their standoff. By reinstating Favre, Goodell is following through on a recent promise to force action.
The reinstatement will become effective at noon on Monday.

Update 3
Speculation media deal still a possibility ... and this nugget:
The team is fully prepared to take Favre back. It has been saving a room for him at St. Norbert's College and has a plan to integrate him back into practice. Favre will have to take a physical and a conditioning test Monday before being put on the roster. The Packers will have to cut someone to make room for him.http://blogs.jsonline.com/packers/Update 4

Update 5
After a long meeting with HC Mike McCarthy on Monday night, Favre spoke to the media on Tuesday and stated it's probably no longer viable for him to remain a Packer:

BUTI have not seen that confirmed anywhere. Packers Blog has since had 2 posts claiming marketing deal may still be in the works.John Clayton is reporting Favre has REJECTED THE 25 MILLION dollar buyout and wants to play football.
