Oh, yeah, the proprietary drivers work fine, but that's only if you're willing to run proprietary drivers.
I'd really rather not, hence the ThinkPenguin adapter, and hence wishing I hadn't just trusted "intel" when buying the thing...
Well certainly the intel wifi on my thinkpad has a fully open driver, but also has some firmware loaded into the wifi chip's processor that is not free. But at least it is not like the old early intel where you had to run a radio manager in user space that was a binary blob. They did eventually fix that. -- Len Sorensen
