Fedora Doesn't Do Either Of Those. Fedora ships drivers included in the upstream kernel. Those drivers have at least been through a kernel review process, and are free of any IP/patent/etc concerns. They are also obviously not closed binary drivers. Yes, that means slightly less out-of-the-box supported hardware. But it usually means better and more compatible drivers. If you want your hardware to work, get the driver maintainers to submit their drivers to the kernel, where they should be anyway [1]. There's really no excuse. Dan [1] except for Atheros chipsets, which can't go into the kernel until they stop being a**es and deal with the binary-linked-in-blob. Intel seems to have a much better path to upstream acceptance with ipw3945 than Atheros could ever manage. > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > How low will we go?
