Linux Wireless, Video Drivers

Make the drivers for your wireless cards available for those of us who run Linux. I bought a Dell Inspiron 1501, but there are no Linux native drivers for it. I also have the ATI graphics Radeon Xpress 1150, but no Linux drivers available for it. It would be great if Linux drivers were available for all the hardware you make and sell.

ringas85 Jun 29	Getting Dell Drivers for Linux should not be a pain. The best prime example is the famous Broadcom wifi where you gotta spend lots of time finding it,and figuaring out how to use them,etc.Dell should make a special drivers dvd that has every driver imaginable for dell products to port the drivers onto Linux,I'd even pay the the driver cd!
