Sorry, we're not going to compromise principles for convenience.  This
is about software that is free, not just software you don't have to pay
money for.

Even if we were, madwifi and ndiswrapper are fundamentally unsupportable
from an engineering perspective.  Having large blocks of code you can't
fix is not a sustainable approach, and any distro that ships them - let
alone claims to support them - is out of its mind, and is merely
deferring the user's pain until runtime.
