Can someone please point to me where I demanded proprietry kernel modules? Please someone help me here cause I don't remember writing that.

Yeah at that point it was a insult Mike, because you kept hounding this point with out looking at the drivers I was asking for. >>Hmmmm, this is a great stand to take. >>Our customers want their computers to work, HA! corporate users want >> their wireless NICS to work.

I do, one is compiled (Binary Module) that you could possible have the access to the source to. The other (Binary ONLY module) you don't have the source to. And my reason for insulting you is because you have a condisending way of dealing w/ people. PLEASE IF I DID SHOW ME WHERE I ASKED FOR A BINARY ONLY PROPRIETARY KERNEL MODULE!!! -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
