I have an original Zaurus 5500, and it still does not support SD/SDIO
in the 2.6 kernel.  An experienced kernel hacker can easily write a driver,
because the card is on a simple SPI port.
It was not done to protest against the decision made by Sharp to
include a binary driver.
Was it really a pragmatic choice ?
