Is there a reason not to bundle ndiswrapper with FC5T3? - it creates a situation where if you get a kernel bug, I'm not even going to look at it, because *anything* could have happened, and as the driver is effectively binary only, there's nothing I can do about it. - it reinforces the message to hardware vendors that it's ok to not release documentation or native Linux drivers, because 'they can just use the windows driver'. This is not a 'might happen' btw, there are already companies saying this when you call them to ask for documentation. </blockquote> Makes perfect sense. I admire fedora taking the same stance as OpenBSD. I'll return my unsupported USB dongle and ! get a Ralink/atheros one. Josh <hr size=1>Yahoo!
