Personally I think that the solution is simply $$$$... and it is not a BIG $$$ Here In Brazil , I am raising a company that sells FreeBSD solution, if I spend about US$1000/month for R&D on FreeBSD , by putting a bid on some projects, (wireless drivers, network manager...), I think in few time we will have the network drivers, running. US$1000/month is about 12.000/year.. I bet there is a lot of people willing to earn that money. The code would be donated to the FreeBSD community. It is cheaper than hire a full time programmer. (and have the job done in few time too). Sergio
