I saw this today and thought I'd share. It took me back to Theo's email[1] from a number of years ago about using the closed drivers by Marvell:
* Ironically, the majority of the system-level problems we had experienced are directly tied to the two proprietary code bases on the laptop: the wireless firmware and the embedded controller firmware. While there are efforts to replace these, OLPC itself has been diligently working with both Marvell and Quanta to make the best of the situation. To suggest that fundamentalism has impeded progress on those two subsystems is not correct.[2] Thought some of you would be interested in that nugget.
