You did read the (also ancient) update in the middle of that ancient blog post, didn't you? 10th June 2006: The IPW3945 driver for Linux has finally been released FWIW, in case you should ever again want to try to pretend to understand anything about it, the driver has been included in the Linux since version 2.6.24, over two years ago. Before that, it was available as a module outside the kernel tree. Before that, there was another driver for the chipset which relied on the older wireless subsystem in the kernel.

Assuming you're not lying about that, I don't know and don't care. As long as you don't post FUD such as "The IPW3945 WiFi card still isn't fully supported under linux", nobody minds if you can't/won't use GNU/Linux. > You guys must be right. Yup. > I mean it's a hard pill to swallow, but I'm stupid. I don't know whether you are or not, but you frequently post as if you are extremely stupid.

Even so, it comes out less garbled than when he takes a shot at original thought.

Then we agree that the point you were trying to make is a ridiculous one. > It's like language fella. Learn Japanese or stay with what you > know. If someone doesn't want to learn Japanese because he doesn't have time or doesn't like learning things, that's fine. OTOH, if that person who won't learn Japanese takes every available opportunity to say things like "Japanese is not ready for prime time" and "Chinese is better than Japanese" and "Japanese speakers are losers", everyone will think that person is a malicious idiot. > It it were much much better, it might be worth it.
