Dear Hackers,
I read an article in Linux Weekly News last week and wanted
to give my input on a solution for what should be done. The
article was all about the debate on whether drivers should
be added to the kernel. SO what i did was made an attempt
(1/2 hours worth at least) on what can be done.
Also, Please note that i'm not asking for help!!!
so please don't give me any reference to the FAQ's or "Buy
the book" responses.
Thanks,
-Cocheese
