You know.. We don't appreciate n00bish whining about features that were never planned to get in - WOL is one of them, or rather the only feature that's missing in the LFDS. Instead of whining you should appreciate Greg's work. He has done a quite remarkable job.
Personally - i don't care on what service my servers run to. All i care about is that people can play on it.

lol... a half baked port of the FDS that you had to wait how long for??
I mean, I'm grateful that Greg or whoever spent whatever spare time he had to get something done that was promised so very long ago by Westwood, but the LFDS is not what it should be. It's a perfectly legitimate gripe.
People spent their money and time on this game and complaining about poor/late/useless software that supports it is their right now matter how many times you might have heard it.
If the FDS was written properly in the first place, it would have been a no brainer to port to linux or any other POSIX platform. It wasn't and they should take tese complaints to heart next time they plan to release a competitive online game.
My sig is only 47 bytes. I wish yours was too.

The FDS is written properly - We're talking about two different game modes modules here. GSA and WOL. Gamespy provides easy-to-port code for their platform.
The WOL Code was/is too attached to the Win32 Platform and it was not possible to port it within the presented time restraints.
In fact, the LFDS and WFDS share the same codebase, and it's almost the same except e.g bootup code etc.
