It has nothing to do with IBM's involvement. In fact, if you look closely at the DRI lists, you'll see some IBM folks involved ;)
im not saying they arent involved. my point was more they ship ppc based servers - so core stability would be my goal if i was them not bells and whistles.
DRI for r300 is beeing worked one based on reverse engineering (paulus got bzflag working nicely on his G5 the other day) . Airport Extreme is a different matter, it's more complex and we all have alternate solutions, so nobody is spending time of that, but you are welcome to do so :)
send me an airport express and then teach me some kernel coding and ill get to it...i would prefer someone to just sync some scanning code in for orinoco and make something official.
