Device compatibility

In the past few weeks I have bumped into live linux distributions that provide support for windows oriented hardware. Puppy Linux provides support for some winmodems (lucent types) and knoppix, using ndswrapper, enables a user to use windows wifi card drivers to support some windows wifi cards from within Linux.

The point is that the open source commpunity si begining to really address the problem of pc's with windows based hardware running a Linux OS. The community is developing not only tools for specific situations, but is also developing strategies for the development of such tools.
