> a) Your personal anecdotes may not broadly apply.
I'd say that if we were talking about a single computer, but here I have stories of 8 different computers with 8 different CPUs and 5 different wireless interfaces, radios, antennas and software all connected to a single wireless router.
If I got my numbers right, there is 81.41% chance this is not a fluke.
b) Just because Windows is worse doesn't mean Linux isn't frustrating.
c) The post complains more about performance (rate, connect time, etc) and complexity (numerous overlapping components) than "Does it work at all".
