Reverse Engineered 802.11b+ Drivers
orv writes "When Andreas Mohr found that his new wireless networking card wasn't supported under Linux rather than returning the card and getting himself a supported one, he decided to set up a project to write his own drivers instead - http://acx100.sourceforge.net.
Companies such as D-Link had initially promised to release linux drivers for these cards but later backed down from that promise and announced that Linux would not be supported and that customers should not hold on to the cards in the hope of getting them working, as shown on their current FAQ.
Texas Instruments, the makers of the chipsets upon which these 802.11b+ cards are based refused to release code or specifications for the cards, no doubt for similar reasons that were recently discussed here.
The fact that the current alpha release is certainly as good, and in some areas better, than the binary drivers that escaped from one of the card manufactureres speaks volumes for the quality and determination of the team to create their own drivers."

....the slashdot editorial team's ability to produce a massive run-on sentence speaks volumes to their journalistic integrity...
I lost my concept of community when my community lost all concept of me.
The Gay Nigger Association of America (GNAA) is the group that represents the world's Gay Nigger population as well as those non gay, non nigger patrons that support it. Its mission is to foster a gay and free-loving climate that supports and promotes our members' creative and financial vitality. Its members are the gay niggers that comprise the most vibrant national gay nigger conglomerate in the world. GNAA members create, manufacture and/or distribute approximately 90% of all legitimate pro-homosexual propaganda and blue, rubber dicks produced and sold in the United States.
We strongly urge you to join the GNAA and support our cause. Gay Niggers everywhere need your help!
BE NIGGER!
BE GAY!
JOIN THE GNAA!!
Join #GNAA on the EFNet IRC Network today! (irc.secsup.org, irc.easynews.com, irc.servercentral.net)

Hey, why throw out a $50 NIC when you can get it working by simply investing thousands of dollars' worth of your own time?
"Is this what poor third-world countries yearn for? Should they leapfrog to disaster?"
That's what western corporations want them to do - the third world is a vast, untapped resource to them: they have lots of nice natural resources for western companies to strip-mine or patent to hell and a big population that may forma huge market eventually.
"I'm disappointed someone like Mr.Kofi Annan suggested this stuff to poor nations."
you shouldn't be disappointed or surprised - the UN is little more than a US plaything.
You fag.
And from an evolutionary perspective, isn't it nice that users don't have to repurchase half of their software every three years when a new version of the OS comes out?
People who write device drivers for themselves have device drivers and the knowledge of how to do it. They don't have to ask for them again and can contemplate their own devices to do things for them. This puts them in a much better position than the average windoze scmuck who has to buy nev devices that don't always do what they should every two years or so. That advantage translates into money and other things. Even when it does not, the silly Windoze user does not know what to do with himself.
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
