Really?
So having a crappy or blobbed driver is better than having nothing?
I disagree vehemently .
Give me something that works or nothing at all. I prefer to not be
surprised by "it sort of works for the developer of the driver".
I find this statement rather misleading and wonder why people keep
parroting it.
Agreed. More folks should hang out on the Dell/Linux mailing list
and take note of the pain these people endure with binary and poorly-
written drivers. Sensors and hardware RAID are particularly ugly.
