Hell, yes. You should've seen the crap fixed by NE* patches in drivers/net/* - it certainly looks like the common mindset is "if this miserable box can't, for whatever reason, run My Driver(tm) - why the fuck does it dare to exist?" - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
