OpenBSD With the recent push from OpenBSD to open firmwares to redistribution as well as obtaining new documentation for several wireless chipsets it would seem OpenBSD is pushing for other areas to open up as well.

How is it childish for Theo to say "okay we're not going to include support for your hardware" but it's not childish for Adaptech to say "we're not going to let you have any docs on our hardware"

???

My own dealings with big businesses have proven that sometimes they can be downright wishy washy. You can waste a lot of time achieving nothing.

Maybe one of Adaptech's competitors will be more willing to provide documentation. I'm at the point right now where if a hardware manufacturer wants to dick around being wishy washy I'm going to take a hard look at their competitors.
