High-quality open source drivers, upstreamed into the Linux mainline by
the time the hardware ships, would be a good start :)

Vendors seem to manage this for Ethernet NICs just fine, so it can't
really be a technical barrier that is keeping this from happening.

If we're going further down the wish list, "no binary firmware blobs"
would be next as far as I'm concerned. Not holding my breath on that
one, though :/
