LinuxAnt's DriverLoader Loads Centrino Drivers

Posted by timothy on from the look-ma dept.

cRueLio writes "The latest release of Linuxant's DriverLoader can now load Centrino drivers. This is very useful, because Intel has been resisting the release of Linux Centrino drivers. For those of you who don't know, DriverLoader is practically a wrapper for Windows wireless drivers."

    Oh, puh-lease. "Standard practice" should be to release free software drivers! Anyone who gladly runs proprietary binary drivers on a free software system haven't got the faintest grain of respect for the principles of what makes the OS they're running possible. They are, as it were, mindless pragmatists, taking no-cost rather than free speech any day. I won't stand for it.
