Hang in there Ujwal! Lot of Linux user like myself and you have been burnt in 
the past but sometimes I failed to see that it was my own foolish mistake. With 
regards to drivers, bahhhhhh... what I can say? There are many thousand not 
supported outright by Linux. I mean device drivers.


It's really hard if you don't have support so I suggest these if you haven't 
done so already -
1. Linux users mailing list - eg., Debian (lists.debian.org), Ubuntu 
(lists.ubuntu.com) users mailing list .... [distro which you use], device 
driver devel mailing list.
2. Online forums - linuxquestions.org for e.g.,
3. IRC channels on efnet and freenode -  [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
4. Lastly Google is your friend :-)

I am sure you'd find help if you just hang in there. Don't give up hope just 
yet! ;)
And I agree totally regarding device drivers for Linux. need more device 
drivers.. but I guess that's not something we can do overnight.
If companies could get foss developers to sign a NDA and the devel release a 
binary-only driver for some of the hard-to-find-devices, it could potentially 
solve the problem but who would listen user's voice? No one! And then also the 
whole OSS philosophy [only the source]. <sigh>

Or, Ujwal, you could do the hacker way. ;) i.e., write a device driver 
yourself. I surely am going to start writing device drivers like Jwalanta in 
about 6 months time [after involving in OLPC]. Would surely love to learn from 
Jwalanta as well.
