My Rant. I am not an expert but if my sound card is not working, I have to I have to compile and insert module in kernel or patch it. Not good for joe average user. Once kernel is installed there should be no need to do anything with it. But even on user friendly distros like *buntu Joe user encounter kernel tweaking. When was last time I heard about compiling windows kernel to set up my soundcard or digital camera??
Mr Linus is doing great job for linux community. But at some time he should realize there is lot of modern hardware exists besides his keyboard and compiler.
Mr Linus should share some responsibility for failure of linux systems compatibility on modern hardwares and come out with vision to integrate s/w and h/w.
