Desktop Linux needs drivers. Right? Of course. So why is Novell's Greg 
Kroah-Hartman, a Linux kernel developer and head of the Linux Driver 
Project, having to ask people to tell him about devices that need drivers?

It's a good question, and Kroah-Hartman doesn't have the complete answer. 
What he does know, as he explained in his blog, is that while the Linux 
Driver Project now has "over 300 different developers signed up to help 
create and maintain Linux drivers," at the same time he doesn't have 
"enough work to keep them busy."

....

So if you want a specific device that doesn't work on Linux to be properly 
supported on Linux, Kroah-Hartman would appreciate it if you would mark up 
the project's Drivers Needed wiki page with the details. Or, for that 
matter, he encourages you to just e-mail him with your suggestion.
