Some of us are still recovering from the trauma

I never have. Just thinking about WiFi and Bluetooth drivers on random laptops still puts me into a full flashback state. (My first experience was back in 2002, I think?)

However, getting all of that stuff working was the best learning experience I ever had. At the time, I was just learning about IT security and WiFi pcap was all the rage back then.

Same, flashbacks to being in college trying to get Wi-Fi working in Fedora on my laptop and then struggling to get it to work with my uni's new Wi-Fi system. Frustrating, but a great learning experience as you said.

With you on that. I remember struggling in 2004 with WiFi drivers, ugh.

I sometimes still think about the time I was trying to print in 1996.
