To be fair, things are this crazy with per-chipset firmwire cutters and whatnot because Broadcomm and others won't allow redistribution of their firmware (even though you need to buy their chip to make any use of it!). Maybe this bit of history about Broadcomm will put it into perspective http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/world-news/article2783216.ece Intel for example don't suffer from that madness with regards to their firmware and the ipw2200 and 3945 firmwares at least are stock Fedora packages. -Andy
