An interesting read...

Also, he has submitted an easy to install Intel (1000, 5000 & 6000 series) wireless driver with firmware here (no encryption).

On be half of the Haiku community, and bounty program, I'd like to thank Colin for his work, timely and fulfilled execution of the bounty, and general professionalism. It was a pleasure seeing this follow through.

Thanks!
