Excellent to see that enterprises are contributing GPL drivers to linux. In the case of WiFi : first Intel and Ralink, now Devicescape!
Who said that asking for GPL drivers was asking for too much, and that one should "get realistic" and accept closed-source drivers?
Free-Software drivers make perfect sense. You buy hardware, you buy a WiFi card, you don't buy a driver. By releasing Free drivers, enterprises add more value to their products.
Now on to graphics cards!
