Third, both ndiswrapper and binary-only drivers only work on one

E.g. broadcom has a binary-only driver for their WLAN card on

On Alpha or PowerPC, most WLAN equipment doesn't work under Linux,
at all.
Definitely. I want my Airport Extreme to work! Many users of the
BCM4301
chip can get it to work (kinda) with Linux via ndiswrapper, but that
means
they are much less likely to participate in any kind of reverse
engineering
effort, even if it's just testing a new driver.
