If it works, I'll be the happiest man in the world...
What license is this released under? I assume that it's a binary-old
proprietary license?
Thanks,

Will the drivers be completely open source and use all the same features
of the windows counterpart?

AFAICT Intel are somehow tied to a group (maybe directly) which works
on Xorg drivers for Intel GFX hardware. Are Intel big enough ? :)

Ok, but even intel still releases most of their driver as binary only
(e.g. for chips used in wireless cards, modems). Why?

(Caveat: I don't know what heck I'm talking about)
In the case of wireless, it may be due to government
regulations of the airwaves.
E.g. Read the README from the ipw2200 driver,
specifically section 0.
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/README.ipw2200
Not trying to defend or attack Intel's position,
just providing a link to something I saw once which
seems related to the answer to your question.
