Nah, Wi-Fi is pretty easy - either it works or it doesn't.  Either you 
have the firmware necessary or you don't.

Audio is so horribly complex on Linux because there's at least 3 
different systems to use it, and nobody's standardised on one.  OSS.  
Alsa.  PulseAudio.  The standards were all not standardised, so they 
decided to fix the problem by creating ANOTHER STANDARD.

Gah.
