Grr. Can't delete/edit on my Hacker News client. Sorry.
Judging from personal noob experience and Ubuntu forums, wireless driver shortcomings are probably holding back a significant number of people who want to try Linux, don't know enough to successfully grok and use ndiswrapper, have a Dell or a Mac with a Broadcom wireless chip, and don't feel like driving to Fry's twice just to get the right USB wifi adapter just so they can install updates and use their built-in chip.
If this ever gets improved, good things will happen.
