I wonder how long it will be before the standard Linux WiFi hardware is the Marvell 88W8388,
used in the OLPC laptop.  It's an amazing piece of hardware, consisting of an entire SoC in
addition to the radio.  Really it's more like having a WiFi bridge than a classic WiFi "card".
And, of course, it works perfectly in Linux :-)
