In today's Ubuntu world
users do hope and expect it to work, they are not always the anoraks of
old who want it hard and command line controlled. As I said elsewhere
some versions do work at once and other do not. Yes you can get into
using Windows drivers vis ndiswrapper but its a thing windows just never
needs. In this day and age it should be possible to get a linux driver
for a modern card and install it without command line complexities in
my view .
