you're wrong.


documentation for broadcom wireless:
http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
embrionic driver based on this spec:
http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/

driver for atheros wireless is nearly done:

now if people started to help these folks instead of crying for
ndiswrapper binary solutions maybe those drivers will be finished
quicker.



No one is crying about ndiswrapper, some folks just want to use Linux on their laptops without waiting
two years for all the drivers to port to Linux. Make the 4K stack setting a command line option. Problem solved.
