LinuxQuestions.org has published a meaty interview with Jean Tourrilhes, major figure in the Linux wireless networking world. Tourrilhes contributed to the kernel's wireless API, maintains many wireless device drivers, and he maintains a Wireless LAN Howto instrumental to both driver programmers and newbies getting their 802.11 cards working under Linux.

In the interview, Tourrilhes discusses his Linux origins, OS zealotry, his famous Wireless How-to page, desktop Linux, why he still uses fvwm, the state of Linux wireless device drivers, the best and worst wireless chipsets, limitations of the current 802.11 implementation, and his opinion on emerging wireless networking standards.
