What on earth are you guys doing having to search the internet for drivers for Linux??? You not buy things that have Linux support advertised? Not looking for good reviews by other Linux users?

I once needed the driver to use "Floppy Streamers" under Linux. That is plain impossible with Windows. For Linux it just meant to recompile the kernel-module each time you updated the kernel which basically was "make && make install". Then at accessing /dev/qic-nst0 I had a Floppy Streamer.

Yes, sometimes you need drivers under Linux. But it is VERY rare.
