[MLB-WIRELESS] Killer wireless cards...

[paul van den bergen]

I have a suggestion for appropriate places to put such fixes.

we have the hardware wiki. It already sorts stuff by hardware.  I want to 
suggest a OS-sorted fix page off the hardware page so that whenever some one 
finds a fix for their hardware in their OS of choice (or force, for those of 
you stuck on windows :-P) they can create a link to a fix for that OS on that 
hardware.  For instance I have now found 2 distinct fixes for FreeBSD 
wireless problems. I suspect there are more out there...
