That's good news, but the real kicker is will they be GPL-compatible? If not, they can't be merged into the mainstream kernel, so people will still have no wireless until they download the drivers from Linksys (much like Nvidia and ATI's drivers).

I hope someone downloads all of them incase Linksys decides to take them off.

p.s.

Is there any proof or press statement as to the factuality of the original poster's statement?
