I hope you understand where I'm coming from and I hope you're not working
for 1ntel :)

1. Hundrends of posts from forum: Sao card wireless trong laptop cu?a em
kho^ng cha.y?

2. If you want to distribute (remaster) certain Linux distributions and
want to help newbies by including driver that would work out-of-the box and
won't violate GPL.

3. If some companies include firmware, drivers that are not GPL, ,zealots
of OSS will say "This distribution is not GPL'ed enough". But if they
remove them to be GPL'ed enough then you will hear users crying. 

I apologize in the first e-mail, i was not clear about 1ntel and open
source contribution. I should have said we wish them to release more
document (even though outside they do some really dirty trick to bo'p co^?
AMD, such as giving discounts to vendors to only sell 1ntel machines. Looks
what Dell's doing nowadays? :) Ship both AMD and 1ntel laptop/desktop).
