Sure, second-hand sources and tech journals mention it.  But why 
doesn't Linksys itself advertise that it is using OpenSource (i.e. 
Linux) in its products?  Linksys has the "Verified Centrino ... Intel 
Inside" logo on a number of web pages.  A little acknowledgment to the 
OpenSource community could go a long way to convincing PHBs to consider 
OpenSource, no?
