Implications for Hardware Vendors


How to get drivers into distributions?
You can talk directly to the distributions
But: Their code architecture/style requirements are high
But: Many of them do not accept binary-only drivers

Linux is only a certain portion of the market
Every distribution is only a small portion of the portion
Thus, new goal: Get your drivers in the mainline project
