I've found this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Open_Source_Wireless_Drivers If you take a look to rt2500, it say "No firmware required" while rt2400 and rt2750 have free firmware. So you can include in your distro. Here, in Barcelona shops, Conceptronic wireless (ralink) is the `best seller', you can find it in all shops. The others (a few number) are D-Link, Linksys and NetGear (ath? that I release have non free driver). Don't waste your time asking for a Orinoco. Who have centrino, have intelPRO that have non free firmware. So, take a look to the number of Barcelona habitants (everybody have router and wifi at home) and you will be able to calculate what you are missing. -- Visite mi página: http://www.roquesor.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
