I would love to have a driver with : all that features to run on freebsd and I'm sure that will be the same : interets from many other freebsd/wifi users. Did I say that it wouldn't be cool to have a cool driver? No. I just said that there's no black helicopters conspiring against one, as was implied in the original message that took too many items out of context in an attempt to smear the project. Warner
