Hmmm - as far as I'm aware, there are absolutely zero free software
linux drivers for 802.11g hardware.

That one still taints the kernel, and it doesn't work at all in ad-hoc
mode (as I found out the hard way). Kind of embarrassing that OpenBSD
can get good free support for some 802.11g hardware, and linux has
tainted stuff that doesn't actually work properly....
