No, it doesn't work that way. You as a *BSD/Linux user were never meant to 
purchase a $40 wireless NIC with a TI chipset that says "software 
requirements: Windows 98/ME/2000/XP" on the box or a $1399 OEM notebook with 
a builtin TI chipset that comes with Windows XP Home Edition.

If you do, it's your problem, and if you don't, your purchase won't be missed 
by anyone.
