Re: [uug] siemens speedstream wireless pcmcia

You know, aside from the vi-emacs debate this is probably one of the 
most common topics on uug - How to get xxx wireless card to work in 
Linux.  All of these cards work just fine under Windows but its a huge 
pain to get them to work under Linux.  Also, every card seems to have a 
different set of hoops to jump through.  Why can't this be better?  Why 
can't the process be the same for every card and just substitute in the 
correct driver?  Why does it have to require recompiling the kernel in 
so many cases to get this to work?  So many people are using wireless 
pcmcia cards these days, you'd think it would be easier.

In other words, since its so popular, why can't it be easier?
