   IMO, you should add that information on the bugzilla. Maybe compare the   
   stacks on both setups, find out what they do differently.

   I suspect that Ubuntu doesn't care about certain legal issues.   
      
   I have an Nvidia card, it works fine. I just install the nvidia rpms   
   available at the nvidia site. It was trivial easy. Years ago it was more   
   difficult.   
      
   However, there are some cases where things fail. For instance, some   
   laptops with optimus hardware have it almost impossible.

   Well, have those other computers the same problematic wifi hardware?   
      
   Historically, hardware that needs loading firmware from the computer are   
   a huge pain. I hate them. I had one or two modems that would not work on   
   Linux, only Windows. Winprinters are another example. Well, some of   
   those do not load firmware, but need software helpers running on the   
   host, because their CPUs are not powerful enough.

   Bugzilla solving happens slowly, depending on how many people are   
   affected, severity, volunteer solvers... You have to be patient.   
      
   I don't know if "network" is the appropriate component for that   
   Bugzilla. Might be "kernel". Malcolm?
