His contributions to society will live on forever.
The wireless stack is the single greatest Achilles heel of any OS to get mass adoption between residential consumers, specially open source ones that rely on volunteer work. What this guy did is nothing short of amazing and he is without a doubt one the guys that saved Linux from fading into obscurity as a desktop OS early on its history.
