Could this be the badly needed 'fix' that we need in the wireless world with regard to Linux? While it does present a new world of simplicity with getting innovation underway, I do not think this alone is going to help get more wireless vendors on board with the Linux movement anytime soon.
Still, the efforts made with OpenHAL and MadWiFi hold out hope for many users out there, especially those of us who are tired of playing "musical wireless cards," thanks to the vendors who choose to use those darn Broadcom chipsets.
Of ignoring Matt Hartley, because this "article" is too sloppy and plain old bad to ignore. If he would just read spend three minutes with Google he would know that wireless in Linux is well on its way to becoming excellent. The entire kernel wireless subsystem has been rewritten, nasty binary blobs are being banished, and more vendors are coming on board.
