I'm really excited about this too. I have been testing out the test adapter
that Chris sent me and tried it on various computers in different rooms.
Heck, I was so confident in my testing I have it in my mother's computer at
her house and haven't gotten any calls yet. No problems connecting to the
router after restart, no drops in connection, and overall a very solid
experience.
In his suggested testing environment, Chris wanted me to use a specific
kernel that had some firmware and that worked fine. What also worked well was
the generic 3.5 kernel from Ubuntu 12.10 and the backported 3.5 kernel from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/linux-generic-lts-quantal for Ubuntu
12.04.
Once Chris and his team get a fully libre firmware stable and ready, I sure
hope that he can get it pushed to the main Linux kernel for a future release.
I know that Trisquel and other libre distros will include this in their
custom firmware packages, but having Chris' hard work to liberate this
firmware would be tits.
