Hi, Denis, > > Andrew, I think this is a rare (on lkml at least) case when guy > does not want to participate in development in a Linux way > but wants to just pay for development instead: > "I want this <hardware> to work good under Linux.

And, given amount of problems with my current setup and _knowing_ how much time it will take for me to debug them by myself , I'm deciding that in the end run it will be faster and more efficent to pay relevant people to fix bugs in subsystems they write/maintain than to participate in (sometimes) never ending bugfix mode.

Regarding myself, your assumptions are totally wrong. My Linux experience started in 1995, as an admin/coder, and since 2000 I'm Linux-only almost 100% And up to some point I was fixing bugs that were critical for me in kernels I was using. But now, given amount of other tasks before me (my regular daily/nightly job) , to spend a few weeks to understand why my WiFi starts to drop packets after resume is more than I could afford.
