My take on it is this: how can users verify whether a device works or not if they *must* alter the source code first and compile everything from scratch? That's not helping, honestly. What I would wish for is a command-line switch that allows users to forego the whitelisting in the drivers and force a particular driver to use a particular (USB) device to be a particular model. That way, users wouldn't need to alter the source code. Alas, none of us have the time to work on that, I reckon. -Soeren > Which means that it does take the users' reports of their > existance and whether they work, before support can be claimed. > Also users participating in wiki updates is required, if users > want the information to be available, and up-to-date.
