Exactly, Mike. And now that we are all on the same page about this being an open-source project, it appears that it is being handled in the same manner as most if not all open-source projects, through a community. To me, if a community member has taken the time to do research for me, and email me back with weblinks, and enough basic information for me to make a fairly educated decision, I would not only be satisfied, but I would be very grateful. It really should not make a differece if the word was "official". At this point most of the people on this list are either developers are linux hobbyists. So I think that we should all be smart enough that by collaborating, come up with some decent solutions. If this makes you feel unfortable about the "unknown", then it would indeed be better to wait until september for you. I am sure that many aspects of this project will handled in a similar pattern of communication, through the community. For me, this is not an issue. I plan on actively participating, and I am not worried about plans, because with any modern GSM carrier (cingular and t-mo included) you can change your plan if it does not suit you. Folks, the point of this thread is for the community to ask the community for help in finding an open-source wifi device. This thread has gotten completely taken over by this miscellaneous discussion about plans. Lets move the topic back to wifi chips. This is the whole point of open-source, we all have a say. Right now the community needs to work together, so lets do that! How Much Is Your Time Worth I ask :) ?
