The original from kernel.org:

We currently have a fair number of working drivers that cover most of the available wireless networking cards on the market. However, most don’t implement all features and many have issues. [...]
Except for a handful of cards with free software drivers and firmware like the Penguin 802.11N most cards are not very ideal for use in Linux.

'Fair number of working drivers’ yet those are 'not very ideal for use in Linux’. Contradiction hard?

But Linux supports all hardware… right?

Fair as in coconut shies, or fair as in you deserve it?

We need a focus group on this one.

It’s just a typo.

Adam, do explain how so? Is the 'not’ too much?

Or is it just that 'very ideal’ does not even make sense?

@Adam,

That was a statement

This IS a typo
