Hi Mikael,

Yes indeed we get perfect support from both Red Hat and SUSE for their enterprise level distribution. I already got a driver kit for the SLES10 kernel. The problem is that the targeted market is not willing to use enterprise level (which means spend money for subscription) distros. They go for the "free" (as in free beer) distros and suffer from missing drivers.
