Wireless USB Device Driver

	~~==Wireless USB Device Driver==~~

	~~My next thought was that, maybe, just maybe, the manufacturer's claim of "out of the box compatibility" with Linux systems is a load of bulldip.~~

	The device is an Airlink 101, which uses a Realtek chipset inside. The drivers are provided [http://www.airlink101.com/support/index.php?cmd=files&id=147 here], but as usual, Linux developers get a big "fuck you" because they're all binary and in .exe or .dmg format.

	An equally worthless, 4 year old pile of bulldip at the [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101 Ubuntu wiki] that says installing the drivers for this wireless card may cause kernel panics.

	Great, because connecting to a wireless network isn't THE FIRST FUCKING THING you do when you turn on a computer, it is obviously very complicated, and would certainly require someone to build their own wireless driver from scratch, and potentially risk kernel panics.

	~~A big, wet, cold fuck you to all of you wireless chipset manufacturers out there.~~
