In my opinion this bug is also a Linux failure.
This is because there are THOUSAND of different distributions, kernels, patched kernels, libraries ecc.

I know this is an advantage for someone, but for companies that have to write drivers and have:
- different version of libs in different distros
- different directory for libs
- different way to install something
- different kernel

how can we ask to produce a driver for all these stuff? We have to make ONE or TWO big distros and ask for support for those two, it's the only way that can save Linux and put up market share!
Writing drivers, software and testing all this stuff in a so heterogeneous environment cost too much!

Linux pay their free concept with less driver and apps.
In my opinion of course!
