Thanks! ] As far as binary only drivers and things of that ilk, I intend to list them on the site, and describe the situation as accurately as possible: "this does work, on x86, but only with one guaranteed kernel version, etc...". I would rate it around a 5 out of 10. With that in mind, specific model numbers/chipsets/whatever else is available for nVidia and broadcom equipment is welcome. I will put those on the wiki myself (still got some kinks). I don't want to beat up on companies, or at least that's not the central idea. I want to provide a place for people to check quickly if they're thinking about buying something, or if they've just bought it, so they can see what the potential problems are. Thankyou, -- David N.
