SATA cards? RAID/Non RAID

[Chris Linstid]

I heard that Broadcom's excuse for their reluctance to release any  
specifications for the wireless chipset is that the chips are used  
for both commercial and military functions and the military functions  
include software radio.  So, I guess they don't want the general  
public to be able to access those functions.  Why they are allowed by  
the DoD to sell the same chips in both spaces is beyond me.
