I remember the struggle of getting wifi to work on Zenwalk with no
easy internet access to search for what works and what doesn't, and the
support was super limited in the late 90s / early 2000s.
What we have in 2017 is a mountain of resources, yet I still hope for
intel to become supported out of the box in -libre, some support for AC
wifi, etc.

I like your decision to work closer on hardware, David. If I had the
personal resources for it, I'd work my way towards it aswell.
I wish you all the best for your new efforts and projects, maybe our
paths cross again in this small world of hacking.
