Another problem iwht the "high-end name brands" is that they sometimes
have the attitude that only they can write drivers, and so there's no
point in releasing programming info, cause that will only encourage the
writing of "bad" drivers. However, since most big name brands don't
bother with Linux drivers, that generally means either some poor
programmer has to reverse engineer the thing or no driver will be
written...and we won't use their product.
