In response to Allen:

Yeah, I know. What I meant was that these Broadcom drivers being unavailable
isn't so much the same thing as Microsoft's monopoly (bug 1), but a direct
result of it. Marking bug 1 as a dependency might be a good way to show that
we may need to fix bug 1 before fixing this bug. I totally think it's a
shame that hardware vendors persist in steering customers towards
proprietary solutions without letting them know about more stable and more
secure free alternatives.

In response to Julian:

Ndiswrapper is a good but scary stopgap... it helps patch the problem, but
it doesn't fix it.
