BSD and Linux programmers have had a lot of success in creating drivers for new computer hardware in a timely manner, but much of their effort has been without the support of major hardware manufacturers. Intel, Marvell, Texas Instruments and Broadcom, though separate and competing entities, seem by one consent to prevent non-Microsoft operating systems from working properly with some of their most widely-used network chips.
Pretty good article with details like which vendors are FOSS-friendly, and which chipsets do what. The bit on getting comments from vendors is most entertaining. Been there, done that.
