Another problem iwht the "high-end name brands" is that they sometimes have the attitude that only they can write drivers, and so there's no point in releasing programming info, cause that will only encourage the writing of "bad" drivers. However, since most big name brands don't bother with Linux drivers, that generally means either some poor programmer has to reverse engineer the thing or no driver will be written...and we won't use their product. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Lewis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Unsolicited commercial e-mail will Network Administrator | be proof-read for $199/hr. ________Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key_______ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
