How and why to work with the Linux kernel community
Implications for Hardware Vendors


Getting drivers in the mainline project
ensures that all distributions will pick up the driver
ensures out-of-the box support of your hardware on all distributions
ensures best user experience
ensures least internal R&D resources
no need to provide binaries for 3 versions of 5 distributions
no need to constantly try to catch up with distribution kernel updates
