   OpenBSD: wpi, A Blob Free Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver</a>, KernelTrap, May 28, 2006
   </strong></font><br>
   Damien Bergamini wrote OpenBSD's all-open-source driver for the Intel Pro/Wireless,
   a sharp contrast to other projects' bogus "open source" drivers that are just wrappers around
   a "binary blob" (source code not available, sorry) provided by the vendor.
   "His announcement came a little over two months after Intel released
   the controversial ipw3945 driver for Linux which included
   a binary-only daemon described as necessary for enforcing regulatory
   limits for the radio transmitter on the wireless device."
   Bergamini's work proves yet again that vendors don't have to obscure their products
   to make them useful.
