[citation][nom]tomtompiper[/nom]What Distro have you been using? There is no need for anybody to load a module and recompile squat to get Wi-Fi to work, in most Distro's it is set up automatically and if not it's set up using a GUI driven tool. As to the average user, they use what they are given and they cope. The average user is not as stupid as you think and if they were presented with a Linux PC they would cope and get on with it. Virus free of course.[/citation]
I didn't really clarify that enough, not to install all wifi, just when new hardware isn't supported. I actually ran into this recently with a card that came with a mini itx motherboard. I have installed Linux on my girlfriends pc, and her probably being the average user has had too many problems with it, but then again I've been around to fix/install stuff and refer her to open source alternatives to programs she used in Windows. Regular consumers aren't dumb, just upset when things don't work automatically.
