If by 'vendor-written drivers' you mean binary-only drivers, then no, the linux kernel developers emphatically do not accept them. They would much prefer that all vendors release open source drivers, since (amongst other things) if they do, that means they (the LKD's) will be responsible for making sure that when the device driver ABI changes, all open-source drivers are rewritten and recompiled to work with that version of the kernel.
Of course, that should be "API" Jeff. _______________________________________________ freebsd-chat@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-chat To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
