It always surprises me that they develop drivers for Unixware, OS/2, or any
other insignificant OS (in the sense of market share, no flames please...) and
not for Linux.
We are voting, anyway, with our $$$... Adaptec is the only one to know how
much money have lost because of them not supporting Linux.
But what I claim goes further! If you go to 3com web server you will find
drivers for any present past or future operating system but Linux (and other
free O.S.). I do not buy the idea of source code drivers being a problem for
hardware manufacturers... if your hardware depends to work on some witty
fiddling with the software it is not good for me; if your hardware is good
and sound a source code driver will outshow it with no doubts...When 3com, SMC,
Matrox, etc. are going to use their $$$ to build drivers for Linux????
BTW, it would be a wicked idea to cripple our stable Linux to favor SCO or SUN
or anyone else whose interest for years has been to bash Linux out.
