+OpenBSD: wpi, A Blob Free Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Driver, KernelTrap, May 28, 2006
+
+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.
