I am sick of not being able to use a wireless NIC natively in Linux. I know there are chipsets that work, but Windows works with ALL of them. Until wireless becomes something that "just works", using Linux as a home users desktop OS is out of the question. Most people are turning to laptops and access points for their home systems. These are the people that need to be converted. Until they sign off on Linux, the OS will just be relegated to us geeks in the server room. And don't even get me started on WPA.
