All of you lurkers out there --

It would be nice to see more e-mails like this one to let Intel know
they are actually making sales based on the free drivers that they are
developing. It provides encouragement to those doing the work and may
help influence future decisions regarding the freeness of code for other
Intel products.

I buy products with Intel components whenever I can precisely because of
this. I have had wireless access on my Linux-based Thinkpad that I don't
even have to think twice about for about one year now. How often does
_that_ happen in Linux?
