Re: [Trisquel-users] When will I have support for my wireless? :( RT3290

Chipsets have what I'd refer to as a life span. The other reason they change  
chipsets is because of costs. Companies find ways to cut corners and a newer  
chipset that is basically identical can be cheaper to produce. It may be the  
same company that they used before, but a newer chipset, or a different  
company (when it's usually most problematic). In either case though it can be  
problematic. Do you want to wait a year before your adapters gets support to  
use it? Or would you prefer to buy something that works out of the box?
