That wasn't my point, though I do feel that way (about stingy bastard chipset manufacturers). I'm well aware that driver creation is a lot of guesswork.

So, if they can do that, why can't we do something similar? Or at least, automate figuring out which driver needs installing. There's a look-up chart that we have to manually trawl through, can't we pull that data into some software? -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 13 17:20:51 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
