Yeah, I think I'll move this to a google docs file or somehow merge it with the information on the linuxdriverproject.org wiki.

I've already looked at what the following distros include in their kernel package: - Fedora - openSUSE - Ubuntu so I have them on my list, and is where I took a number of the existing staging drivers from. If you could poke around other distro's kernels (like Mandrake and any other you can think of) and find out what they include, that would e great. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
