my comment was absolutely not about the OSS nature of this (the drivers
are GPL btw and even shipped, but that is besides the point). My comment
was that "please help me get my wireless working on FC4" is *NOT* a
valid posting for fedora-test-list. It is perfectly valid for fedora-
list@, but by no means does it even come close to fitting in the charter
of fedora-test-list, in any imagination possible.
