You have no idea how nice it is to compile some wacky -mm kernel, fire it up, and have all your hardware working without having to manually do this yourself. I've just spent the better half of this afternoon adding ipw3945 support into a fedora kernel. Bear in mind that it uses the git version of ieee80211, and that it doesn't compile in 2.6.18 and you get the idea. But it works :-) On the assumption that future kernel versions use a higher version of ieee80211, then making a dkms rpm of ipw3945 would be trivial (and probably even legal) :-) Then there's the binary stuff, and the microcode but I would have to look at the licences of those in detail.
