You guys can mod me down for this.. but umm.......

Who cares? I never even heard about this stupid argument before. I wasn't even aware people still were fighting over wifi "stuff".
P.S. No I did not RTFA.
I care - my laptop is using Madwifi and it runs like ass with Gnome NetworkManager. It's been an open case with Ubuntu for over a year now. Atheros cards can't handle the scan requests and disconnect after the scan request.
It'd be nice to get better collaboration with the Atheros drivers.
Wireless is the big hole with Linux. Its support is dodgy at best.
It still is the biggest problem. We had a Linux InstallFest at my school. We maybe did one install - people are able to do that on their own these days. Really it should be renamed Linux Wireless ConfigFest or something.
My laptop is also Intel wireless (since I bought it with Linux in mind) and has no problem. My girlfriends though is Broadcom and doesn't work well with WPA at all.
