That a lot of good full time Linux users have Hall Monitor syndrome.

"That it is illegal. That it is spelled wrong. That it violates. No, you'll shoot your eye out.
That does not meet the standards. Mine is best. F the rest. "

It is almost like when the bully took ones lunch money in grade school.
It turned them into a raving control freak advancing into adult hood.

Broadcom Wireless

Broadcom does make a "generic" wireless driver for Linux, but it allegedly doesn't work with everything. Therefore, the Ubuntu development team have had to use fwcutter to pull the firmware information from a Windows driver to build one that works for Linux.
