I'm an enterprise user with 1500 RedHat desktops. RedHat does meet my demands.

I would say that Wireless support is not even in the top twenty most important things to an Enterprise user because our machine density would make the speed of any wireless network slow to a crawl. With a wired network we can get +100Mb/s to every desktop, and that is much more important. If RedHat had left out the driver for some industry standard wired network card, then we would have cause to complain.

Brian,
there are always alternative ways to deliver software, its not a question agreeing or disagreeing with opensource. Why should I need to go to Intel, the reason I need to choose an enterprise distro is for support.

Are you intentionally being obtuse? It's Intel's blob, and it is not Open Source. It is not Red Hat's. Red Hat has no ability to modify or fix the blob. That is not Red Hat's fault, it's Intel's.

If anyone should be working with the hardware vendors its RedHat not me. It boils down to whether redhat is able to meet the demands of the enterprise desktop user. The unfortunate answer is no.

You're in the minority.
