I can sympathize with this article. Every time my kernel is upgraded, I must manually recompile my wireless driver. I'm using a patched version of a Broadcom wireless driver that some kind soul on Github has been maintaining. If I was new to linux, there would be no way that I would have been able to get my wireless interface working in the first place. Linux has made vast improvements over the years in how well it works with so much hardware. There just seems to be more of a need for better wireless driver support.
