 Do we have the hardware for testing?

 Actually, AFAIK, there's no police. And that's one of my main complaints
currently.

 It sounds like a good police to me to have all the 3rdparty drivers as
dkms modules.

 Then we can split the driver's maintenance work with other people;
the kernel package would have its size reduced; and you'd only install the
driver's you need.

 If we have the device for testing, I could include it in 2007.0 only
for testing at a first moment.

 Hey, I should thank you for the report. :)
