Creating a device like Internet Tablet is not just writing software, it's a lot more. For example, one has to consider hardware design, costs, manufacturing, schedules and other issues. And when all these aspects are combined, the solution isn't always optimal. Just like the case is right now, as you have pointed out. I do understand the frustration of not having umac.ko sources available. I personally believe that having an open driver would improve the quality and make my job a lot easier. But that's just not possible currently and this is something we have to live with.
