Pam:
It was a very pleasant surprise to see you stepping back into the
discussion on the wireless card initialization problem I reported to you
and that you opened with Red Hat.
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79433)
I was getting pretty depressed over how the Red Hat folks didn't want to
know from our problem. I figured that once it was pushed off into,
"Microsoft needs to fix their driver; bug CLOSED" by the Red Hat folk,
that we had no recourse to a future of flaky wireless in a multi-boot
environment.
This kind of collaboration where the hardware vendor has resources and
desire to get Windows and Linux and hardware peope all working together
for the customer is PRECISELY the sort of collaboration I want to be a
part of, and the sort that I advocate for MIT, and its vendors.
THANK YOU!
