Most of the problem with those chipsets, is the implementation, and not the chipsets themselves.

Thus, the true innovators who'd drive this to market are excluded because they work out of their garages. Sigh! If Jobs and Woz were to attempt to start up Apple today, they'd still be sitting around the garage, swilling beer and twiddling their thumbs!
They were like that in the past, yes. But look up SheevaPlug and OpenRD.
