Nice list! If anyone has some time, it would be valuable to work through
the list and check, which of these have been merged into Linux mainline
by now (e.g. several of the wifi drivers have) and report the missing
ones to Greg Kroah-H's driver project:
http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view

He has 310 developers at hand, who are eager to merge potential out-of-
tree drivers and such: http://www.kroah.com/log/
