I believe Andy clarified Dani's statement. Willibald doesn't want to get 
bogged down in a support nightmare, dealing with "your driver won't work 
with my card," and "why can't you just fix this?" sorts of issues. This 
end of the spectrum needs to be solidified before he is willing to make 
his work public, and I can fully understand his reasons.

Willibald Meyer is the developer of the driver. You may read more 
(though dated) info here: http://www.os2warp.be/index2.php?name=genmac .

Kris, have you ever had to deal with angry, frustrated users, many of 
whom do not even know how to install and configure your software, asking 
you time and again the same questions, usually because they were too 
lazy to read the documentation which you painstakingly drafted and 
proofread? How about people who demand FREE drivers and software...along 
with support which is on par with commercially-available packages? 
Roderick's references to Chris' pages regarding his multimedia classes 
are a prime example of how to drive away good people with negativity.

If you are truly interested in assisting with the GenMAC project, I 
would suggest you contact either Adrian at Netlabs or Jonas Buys at 
OS2Warp.be.

Finally, Kris, I think your tone with Daniela was entirely uncalled for. 
Perhaps it's a language issue, as I know that English is not your native 
tongue, but Dani was merely pointing you in the right direction. She is 
another developer who spends countless hours fine tuning her work, then 
distributing it for FREE. We all benefit from her hours of labor on her 
own releases as well as her input here and elsewhere online, and I, for 
one, am honored to count her among not only our subscribers on this 
list, but also as a personal friend.
