Not so, no where did Les say that, Craig. I know Les ...he has a bunch
of coding chops under his belt and he's a helluva decent human being.
The point is that it needn't be anathema if the only way to get a device
working correctly is to use a driver from the manufacturer. Sure, pang
on them until the cows come home to open up their code. I believe in
that. One day everyone will see * * The Light * *. Guys like Alan Cox
could tell them a thing or three or ten about proper interfacing to the
kernel.
Meanwhile, getting stuff to work is a consideration for Joe Lunch de
Bucket, Les, me and a bunch of others. And, we deal with what we got as
we can. :) Ric
